About this map

Ohio River barge traffic and industrial development anchor this section of the valley, where the state boundary separates Belmont County, Ohio, from Marshall County, West Virginia. The riverfront is dominated by logistics and transport, including CSX Transportation rail lines and the Arch A Moore Bridge connecting the shoreline communities. Along the eastern bank, the riverside towns of Moundsville and Glendale transition into the heights of Roberts Ridge, while the western side features the notable Round Bottom bend and the settlement of Dille Bottom. Genealogy researchers can find numerous upland burial sites like Dilles Bottom Cem and Upper Wegee Cem. The landscape is characterized by a series of deep drainages such as Wegee Cr and Pipe Cr that cut through ridges like Key Ridge and Crozier Ridge, illustrating the steep topography that has dictated local road networks and settlement patterns for generations.
