1960 Map of Businessburg

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Ohio River flows through a landscape defined by industrial development and traditional river valley settlements during the early 1960s. Along the eastern bank, Moundsville and McKeefrey stand as primary hubs of activity, connected by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. On the Ohio side, the topography rises sharply from the riverbanks at Dilles Bottom into the ridge-and-hollow terrain of Richland Ridge and Ash Ridge. This area shows a complex mix of land use, from the Moundsville Golf Course and Washington Lands Sch to the industrial presence of Strip Mines and a Gravel Pit. Local life is anchored by dispersed institutions like Belmont United Ch and the Mead Local Sch, while family history is etched into the land at Riverview Cemetery and Mt Zion Cem.
