1961 Map of Mc Arthur

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The town of McArthur serves as the focal point for this early 1960s study of Vinton County, where the converging tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads anchor the local economy. The landscape is heavily defined by extraction and preservation, with numerous Strip Mines and Quarries carved into the hillsides alongside the expansive boundaries of the Wayne National Forest and Raccoon State Forest. Smaller settlements like Dundas, Puritan, and Oreton are scattered throughout the hollows, often near family-named landmarks like Hixon Cem and Boyd Cem. The presence of the Oreton Lookout Tower and remote structures like Vinton Chapel emphasize the deeply forested and rural nature of the terrain, while drainage systems like Puncheon Fork and Pierce Run cut through the dense ridges of Elk and Madison townships.
