About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery of this region, marking the boundary between Gallia County, Ohio, and Mason County, West Virginia. At the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers, the city of Point Pleasant stands across the water from Kanauga, while further downstream the city of Gallipolis anchors the Ohio shore. This modern landscape is defined by its deep historical layers, from the prominent Mound Hill to the dual seats of local government at the Gallia County Courthouse and Mason County Courthouse.

Upland from the river valley, the terrain is carved by numerous tributaries including Chickamauga Creek and Threemile Creek, where several smaller settlements like Henderson, Clipper Mills, and Redmond are located. For those researching local families, the map identifies numerous burial sites such as Pioneer Cem, Gibson Cem, and Maddy Cem, alongside significant landmarks like the Gallia-Meigs Regional Airport and the Gallipolis Ferry terminal.
