The Ohio River defines the western edge of this West Virginia landscape, where the Long Reach stretch of the waterway has long dictated the layout of riverside settlements. Small communities like Bens Run and Beavertown sit along the riverbanks, while the interior is marked by a complex network of ridges including Oak Grove Ridge and Federal Ridge. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of creeks and runs, such as Middle Island Creek and Sugar Cr, which once supported local industry and water power as evidenced by the namesake Falls Mills in the east.
