2019 Map of Ratcliffburg

About this map

Eagle Mills and Ratcliffburg serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Vinton County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Salt Creek. The topography is a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Mace Hollow and Ponetown Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and small settlements like Jimtown. The map reveals a high concentration of rural burial sites, including Union Cem, Lebanon Cem, and the Slagle Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. Outdoor recreation and modern land use are represented by the North Country National Scenic Trail and the Tar Hollow Bridle System, which weave through the wooded terrain of Tar Hollow and across the Hocking and Ross county lines.
