About this map

The Ohio River carves a wide path through this river valley, anchoring the historic waterfront of Gallipolis and the neighboring West Virginia settlements of Point Pleasant and Henderson. By the early 21st century, the landscape shows a dense network of residential development, from the Evans Heights and Hanersville neighborhoods to subdivisions like Iva Dale Subdivision and Hawk Subdivision. The confluence of the Kanawha River with the Ohio is a focal point of activity, marked by the Silver Memorial Bridge and the Point Pleasant Post Office.

Tracing the rural outskirts reveals a deep-rooted history through numerous burial grounds such as Mound Hill Cemetery and Mina Chapel Cemetery. The river economy is still evident in labels like Gallipolis Ferry, Baileys Landing, and Walkers Landing, which point to a long-standing reliance on the waterway. Transport and commerce extend from the Gallia-Meigs Regional Airport to the industrial presence at Clipper Mills, while land features like Kriner Ridge and Fortification Hill rise above the river plains.
