About this map

Ohio River navigation and transport dominate this corridor along the border of Ohio and West Virginia. On the eastern shore, the industrial and residential core of Moundsville and Glendale sits across from the Belmont County bottomlands. This 2013 survey shows the complex infrastructure of the river valley, including the Moundsville Bridge and the Arch A Moore Bridge connecting the two states. The mapping of Round Bottom and Dilles Bottom reflects the significance of these level plains for settlement and industry amidst the surrounding ridges.

Upland features like Key Ridge and Crozier Ridge are dotted with small communities and family-named cemeteries. Historic locales such as Businessburg, Vallonia, and Captina are documented alongside numerous burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem and Belmont Cem. The map also captures specialized transport nodes like the Glendale Fokker Field Airport and the local road networks branching off Oh-7 and Key Bellaire Rd.
