About this map

The Wayne National Forest dominates much of this landscape in Vinton County, where the topography is defined by the high elevations of Locust Grove Ridge and Low Gap. This area reflects a quiet rural settlement pattern centered around small hamlets such as Allensville and Stella, connected by winding roads through the Middle Fork Salt Creek valley.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of data in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Bell Cem, Garrett Cem, and Curry Cem. The map also documents the spiritual life of the region through landmarks like Otterbein Chapel and Mt Olive Ch. Cultural heritage is further highlighted by the presence of a Covered Bridge crossing near the junction of several local paths. Economic activity is visible through scattered Gas Well and Strip Mines operations, illustrating the region's reliance on natural resource extraction alongside its agricultural roots.
