About this map

The confluence of the Ohio River and the Big Sandy River serves as the geographic anchor for this tri-state region, where the borders of Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia meet. This intersection of waterways facilitated the growth of industrial and transit hubs like Ashland, Kenova, and Ceredo. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both water and heavy infrastructure, featuring numerous crossings such as the Mose-Napler Bridge and the Barger Hill Underpass Bridge.

Beyond the riverfront industry, the terrain rises into ridges and hollows, such as Holbrook Hollow and Sutton Mt Taber Ridge. These uplands are home to several established burial grounds, including Crescent Hill Cemetery and Spring Valley Cemetery. The proximity of the Lawrence County Airpark and the residential expansion in South Point and Westmoreland reflects the modern development patterns of the Huntington metropolitan area while maintaining clear connections to its river-valley origins.
