About this map

The Ohio River carves a dramatic S-curve between Belmont County, Ohio, and Marshall County, West Virginia, serving as the industrial and transit spine for this region during the mid-20th century. Major river-bottom developments like Round Bottom and Dille Bottom highlight the era's reliance on the waterway, featuring extensive infrastructure including tipples, mines, and water wells to support local industry. The riverbanks are dotted with significant settlements such as Shadyside, Glendale, and Moundsville, each connected by the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads.
