2011 Map of Catlettsburg

About this map

Catlettsburg and Kenova anchor the confluence of the Ohio River and Big Sandy River, a critical transportation and industrial junction where Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia meet. This early 21st-century landscape is dominated by heavy infrastructure and river-based industry, most notably the Ashland Oil Refinery at the southern edge and the National Steel-Ohio River Site Dam. The map details the dense rail network of CSX Transportation as it navigates the tri-state riverbanks, connecting industrial centers like Ceredo and North Kenova with residential neighborhoods such as Oakview Heights and Grandview Gardens. Genealogists will find numerous dedicated burial grounds, including Green Lawn Cemetery, Macedonia Cemetery, and Alley Cemetery. Away from the river valleys, the terrain rises into the hills of Cartrell Hill and Crescent Hill, where smaller communities like Sulphur Springs and Possum Hollow are reached by winding ridge roads like Sutton Mt Taber Ridge Rd.
