1961 Map of Mineral

About this map

Hope Furnace stands as a significant industrial landmark in the northwestern corner of this Vinton County survey, reflecting the region's iron-producing history. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Raccoon Creek and the deep incisions of Bear Hollow and Wolf Pen Hollow into the surrounding ridges. Along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line, the small settlement of Moonville and the town of Mineral serve as primary nodes of human activity within the expansive Zaleski State Forest. Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds, including Keeton Cem near the waters of Lake Hope and Judd Cem along Pine Run. The presence of several Strip Mines and a Gravel Pit indicates the ongoing extraction of natural resources that shaped the local economy during the mid-20th century.
