2002 Map of Belmont

About this map

The confluence of the Ohio River and the winding Muskingum River dominates this early 20th-century landscape, where riverfront commerce and rural upland settlements meet along the state line. Wooded ridges and hollows defined by Gaan Ridge and Mt Pagan are largely encompassed by the Wayne National Forest, while the river itself protects unique habitats within the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Small communities like Belmont and Sitka are linked by rural routes such as the Scenic Road and North Country Road.
