About this map

The Ohio River corridor near the West Virginia and Ohio border reveals a landscape shaped by transportation and state-managed resources during the early 21st century. The rail infrastructure at Hobson Yards and Hobson Junction on the Ohio side faces the riverbank settlements of West Columbia and Hallwood, illustrating the enduring importance of the river valley for industrial and transit links. To the south, the presence of the West Virginia University Experimental Station and the Clements State Tree Nursery near Lakin highlights a region dedicated to agricultural research and conservation.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the rural terrain, including the West Columbia Hill Cemetery, Clifton Cemetery, and the Infirmary Cemetery. The landscape is further defined by water management features like the McClintic Wildlife Pond Number Three Dam and the Mason County Airport, which sits alongside Oldtown Creek. The map documents a blend of river-dependent commerce and established upland communities such as Fairview and Maggie.
