2016 Map of Zaleski

About this map

Zaleski and McArthur anchor this landscape within the Wayne National Forest, where the terrain is defined by a network of ridges and hollows such as Bethel Ridge and Mitchell Hollow. The area's mid-20th-century development is visible through the Vinton County Airport and the Industrial Park Rd corridor near the Elk Fork drainage. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of local burial sites, including the Saint Sylvester Cem and Oak Grove Cem near Zaleski, as well as the Mount Zion Cem and Prose Cem further north. The settlement of Creola sits along the Brushy Fork, while the intricate system of township roads, such as Bolster Hollow Rd and Powder Plant Rd, suggests a long history of resource extraction and rural habitation in the valleys surrounding Raccoon Creek.
