1960 Map of Addison

About this map

Addison and Bulaville anchor this survey of the Ohio River valley at the border of Ohio and West Virginia. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of Strip Mines and numerous Gas Wells across the dissected uplands of Poplar Ridge and Possum Hollow. Along the riverbanks, industrial infrastructure is evident through a prominent Power Plant, a Sub Sta, and the parallel tracks of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family-named sites, including the Halfhill Cem, Lemley Cem, and Fulton Cem, alongside rural institutions like Wesley Chapel and Addaville Sch. The complex drainage network of Kyger Creek, Campaign Creek, and Morgan Lick Run illustrates the difficult terrain that shaped early transportation routes such as Jessie Creek Road and Addison Bulaville Road.
