2011 Map of Barboursville

About this map

The Ohio River and the Guyandotte River converge in this river-bottom landscape, where residential development fills the terraces between the water and the rising interior ridges. In the early 21st century, the area shows a dense network of suburban clusters such as Pea Ridge, Altizer, and West Pea Ridge, positioned along the major east-west transportation corridors. This map reveals a community deeply anchored by its memorial sites and public spaces, from Oaklawn Memorial Park to the Lawrence County Fairgrounds just across the river. To the south, the terrain becomes more dissected by waterways like Davis Creek and Mud River, leading toward smaller settlements like Melissa and Martha. The landscape is a mix of floodplain industry, indicated by the Lock and Robert Newlon Field, and quiet recreational spots such as the Lake of Eden.
