The Ohio River forms the vital artery of this riverfront landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks trace the western bank past Hockingport and Harris Ferry. The river's influence on settlement is clear at Belleville and Meldahl, while the interior topography of Wood and Jackson Counties is defined by a dense network of country schools and rural churches. Educational life was decentralized in the early twentieth century, evidenced by the numerous small institutions such as Society Hill School and Franklinview School that served the ridge-top communities.
