About this map

The industrial and riverine character of the Ohio River corridor defines this 1960 landscape where West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania meet. Industrial activity is evident in the numerous Strip Mines, Oil Wells, and the infrastructure of the New Cumberland Lock and Dam. While heavy industry hugs the riverbank near New Cumberland and East Liverpool, the interior of Hancock County transitions into the recreational and civic spaces of Tomlinson Run State Park and the County Childrens Home.

For local historians, the map preserves the mid-century layout of small settlements like Pughtown and Lawrenceville. Transportation networks, including the Pennsylvania railroad and the Herron Airport, illustrate how the region connected its natural resources to broader markets. Sacred and community sites such as Glendale Ch and the Locust Hill Cem remain anchored in the valleys and hillsides, providing essential touchstones for genealogical research in this tri-state borderland.
