About this map

Wellston and Hamden anchor this landscape along the border of Vinton and Jackson Counties, where numerous small water bodies and rural cemeteries define the local topography. The area is marked by a high concentration of burial grounds for genealogists, including Wyckoff Cem, Franklin Cem, and Old Hamden Cem, reflecting generations of settlement in the hills above Little Raccoon Creek.

The presence of the Reed Hill Lookout Tower indicates a terrain historically managed for timber and fire observation, while the developed water features like Lake Rupert and Lake Alma State Park show the region's transition into recreation. Smaller hamlets like Glen Nell and Lesmil appear alongside the intricate drainage patterns of Tripp Run and Johnson Run, which carved the winding routes of local roads such as Old Adelphia State Hwy and Slate Cut Rd.
