About this map

Raccoon Creek and its many tributaries, such as Campaign Creek and Barren Creek, dominate this rural Gallia County landscape, carving a network of valleys that define the placement of historic settlements. The villages of Vinton and Bidwell serve as local hubs, with the latter housing the Bidwell Post Office. Significant water management and recreation areas are evident at Tycoon Lake, featuring the Tycoon Lake East Dam and South Dam.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community burial sites, from the Vinton Memorial Cemetery to smaller plots like McGehee Cemetery, Lower McCarley Cemetery, and Eblin Cemetery. The presence of Woods Mill and Boice Bridge points to an era of local industry and river crossings that sustained these scattered communities, while the Edoma Trail Subdivision and Clark Chapel Acres Recreation Pond illustrate more modern land use transitions.
