1961 Map of Hunter

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Captina Creek winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, its path fed by numerous tributaries like Mikes Run and South Creek. The 1961 field survey reveals a terrain defined by rural ridges and hollows, where local life centered around small settlements and hilltop churches. At Speidel in the northwest and New Castle to the south, the pattern of settlement follows the high ground and valley floors. Cultural landmarks are frequent, including Chestnut Level Ch and Horeb Ch, alongside several family and community graveyards such as Center Cem. Along Sandy Ridge, the Sandy Ridge Ch sits prominently, while industrial activity is noted by a Gravel Pit and scattered Mine sites. A notable Ford crossing on the North Fork indicates the era's reliance on established river passages for local travel across the Belmont County countryside.
