About this map

The Ohio River corridor at Ashland reveals a landscape heavily shaped by the industrial legacy of northeastern Kentucky. Traces of early iron production are marked by the Bellefonte Iron Furnace and the Amanda Iron Furnace near Millseat, while the modern industrial footprint of Armco Steel dominates the northern riverfront. The city's growth is visible in the dense residential blocks of Westwood, Fairview, and West Fairview, alongside institutions like the University of Kentucky Extension Center.

Beyond the urban core, the topography transitions into a network of ridges and hollows, such as Stephens Hollow and Meads Hollow. These valleys are home to numerous family and community landmarks, including the Eastham Cemetery, Patton Cemetery, and Newman Cemetery. The southern portion of the map is defined by smaller communities like Cannonsburg and Princess, where the East Fork Little Sandy River winds through the hills, followed closely by the CSX Transportation rail line.
