About this map

Zaleski and the northern reaches of McArthur anchor this study of Vinton County's undulating landscape. The region is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Bethel Ridge, Pumpkin Ridge, and Atkinson Ridge, which divide the drainages of Raccoon Cr and Brushy Cr. The map reveals a complex network of hollows—such as Webb Hollow, Mitchell Hollow, and Coalmont Hollow—that once served as the primary conduits for settlement and early industry.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial sites scattered across the terrain, from Prose Cem and Fee Cem to the church-affiliated Saint Sylvester Cem. Much of the central and eastern portions of the map fall within the Wayne National Forest, while the presence of the Vinton County Airport and the Industrial Park Rd near Elk Fork indicates the modern logistical infrastructure integrated into this wooded landscape.
