1958 Map of Gallipolis

About this map

The confluence of the Ohio River and Kanawha River serves as the focal point for this survey of the riverfront border between Ohio and West Virginia. On the Ohio side, the city of Gallipolis shows a dense urban grid featuring the Gallia Academy, a prominent Hospital, and the Gallipolis State Institute. The river landscape is characterized by maritime and industrial activity, including several Gravel Pits, the Gallipolis Island landform, and numerous ice breakers along the shore. Across the water in West Virginia, Point Pleasant sits at the northern point of the confluence, anchored by the Tu-Endie-Wei State Park.
