About this map

Raccoon Creek and Little Raccoon Creek wind through a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a network of family cemeteries that speak to the long history of Jackson, Vinton, and Gallia Counties. This 2023 survey documents the enduring geography of places like Minerton, Buckeye, and Keystone, where the terrain is marked by ridges such as Hothouse Ridge and numerous small hollows drained by runs like Greasy Run and Coal Run.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, including Mount Carmel Cem, Fisher Cem, and Franklin Cem, which anchor these communities. The modern industrial footprint is represented by the CSX Transportation rail line that follows the creek valleys, connecting the northern reaches near Hawks and Clarion to the south, while Minerton Chapel stands as a focal point for the dispersed population center of Minerton.
