2002 Map of Bens Run

USGS Topo · Published 2006

About this map

Middle Island Creek winds through the eastern portion of this West Virginia landscape, reflecting a rugged topography dominated by ridges like Oak Grove Ridge and Federal Ridge. The western border follows the Ohio River, where industrial and navigational infrastructure is prominent near Long Reach and Bens Run. Here, the Ohio River RR and State Hwy 2 parallel the water, connecting riverside settlements with sites like Lock and Dam No 16 and the Salt Wells near Engle. Away from the river, the map reveals a interior of small rural communities and mountain gaps. Genealogists will find numerous landmark churches and burial sites, including Mt Nebo Ch, Mt Welcome Ch, and Bibbys Cem. The terrain is characterized by steep valleys carved by waterways like Sugar Run and French Creek, leading to isolated settlements such as Arvilla and Shiloh.
