About this map

Eagle Mills and Ratcliffburg serve as the primary coordinates for this Vinton County landscape, where the terrain is deeply etched by narrow valleys and local watercourses. The area's settlement pattern is defined by family-named hollows and small burial grounds that suggest a long-standing rural community. To the north, the small hamlet of Jimtown sits along Pike Run, while the southern reaches are marked by the winding path of the Middle Fork Salt Creek.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of scattered family and community burial sites, including the Slagle Farm Cemetery, Scott Cemetery, and Pike Run Cemetery. The road network, consisting of routes like Eagle Mills RD and Stevens Branch RD, follows the natural contours of the land, weaving through numerous hollows such as Morrison Hollow and Conway Hollow that have historically organized this part of Ohio.
