2019 Map of Addison

About this map

Addison and Bellmeade occupy the riverbank along the Ohio River as it forms the state boundary between Ohio and West Virginia. This landscape is defined by the steep hollows and ridges rising from the river valley, where small rural communities like Bulaville, Kyger, and Eno are connected by a network of winding township roads. The map illustrates the industrial footprint of the region through large-scale features such as the Gavin-Fly Ash Impoundment and the Gavin Bottom Ash Pond, which stand in contrast to the numerous traditional burial grounds dotting the hillsides, including Van Zant, Halthill, and Lemley. Genealogists may find particular value in the distribution of family-named landmarks such as Moore, McCarty, and Lewis cemeteries, which offer a look at the ancestral settlement patterns of this river-border region.
