About this map

The Ohio River corridor and the confluence of the Guyandotte River and Mud River define this map of the Huntington area. The landscape is characterized by the river valleys and several prominent ridges, including Pea Ridge and its residential extensions at West Pea Ridge and East Pea Ridge. On the Ohio side, the grid-planned settlements of Rome and Proctorville sit across from the West Virginia hills, while the village of Barboursville serves as a focal point near the confluence of the Mud and Guyandotte rivers.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, such as the Rome-Proctorville Cem and White Chapel Cem. Civil infrastructure is prominently marked by several named spans, including the General McComas Bridge and the David Ricky Memorial Bridge, highlighting the region's reliance on river crossings. The area around Melissa and Martha illustrates the transition from the denser river settlements to the creek-fed valleys of the interior.
