2023 Map of Mineral

About this map

Mineral and Hope anchor this landscape along the border of Vinton and Athens counties, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows. The area's settlement history is reflected in a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Hewett Cem, Howson Cem, and the Bethel Holiness Mission Cem. These sites, often situated on high ground or at the mouths of hollows like Honeycomb Hollow and Ogg Hollow, provide critical data points for genealogical research in this part of southeastern Ohio.
