About this map

Ohio River industrial and residential corridors dominate this survey of the borderlands between Ohio and West Virginia. Along the eastern bank, the communities of Glendale and Shadyside show established infrastructure near Zitko Terrace, while the inland West Virginia side reveals a more rural character defined by steep ridges like Crozier Ridge and Key Ridge. The map documents a complex network of small settlements and family-named landmarks, such as Anvil, Vallonia, and Businessburg, connected by winding routes like Mount Victory Rd.

Transport and commerce center on the river, highlighted by the Moundsville Bridge and the specialized Moundsville Seaplane Base. Local heritage is preserved in numerous upland burial grounds, including the Mount Zion Cemetery and Dunfee Cemetery. Notable industrial footprints like the Alexander Mine and the Moundsville Golf Course sit adjacent to the river's bend at Round Bottom, illustrating the varied land use of the upper Ohio Valley.
