1961 Map of Mineral

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Zaleski State Forest and Waterloo State Forest dominate this pocket of the Vinton County hills in the early 1960s, a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad follows the winding course of Raccoon Creek and its tributaries, connecting small valley settlements like Moonville and Mineral. This transit corridor reflects the area's industrial legacy, where a Strip Mine near Hope Furnace and various gravel pits suggest the transition from 19th-century iron production to mid-century resource extraction.
