1968 Map of Barboursville

About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide natural boundary between Ohio and West Virginia, serving as the central artery for this late-1960s landscape. On the West Virginia side, the Guyandotte River meanders toward Huntington, passing through Barboursville where industrial infrastructure like a Sewage Disposal Pond sits near residential expansion. The era's transportation network is defined by the Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads, which parallel the riverbanks and support the movement of coal and freight.
