USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Ohio River barge traffic and heavy industry define this riverfront landscape during the late 1960s. The riverbank is densely marked with infrastructure, from the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads to the sewage disposal ponds and various tipples serving the local coal economy. The map reveals a transition from the industrial river corridor to the interior hills, where extensive strip mining activity is visible near Middleport and West Columbia.
