1968 Map of Friendship

About this map

Friendship Creek flows through a landscape defined by the convergence of the Ohio River and the Scioto River. This region at the turn of the 1990s reflects a complex riverine economy where industrial infrastructure like the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and a Strip Mine sit alongside the expansive Shawnee State Forest. The map documents numerous hollows and runs that shaped local settlement patterns, from Sugar Grove to the riverside community of South Portsmouth.
