2016 Map of Glenwood

About this map

Ohio River transport and rugged Appalachian drainages define the borderlands where West Virginia and Ohio meet. The riverside settlement of Glenwood serves as a focal point along the Huntington Rd, while the steep ridges inland are marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Templeton Cem and Union Ridge Cem. The landscape transitions from the broad Cottonwood Bar on the river to the protected woodlands of the Wayne National Forest in the northwest. Local history is etched into the terrain through a dense network of ridge roads like Chandler Ridge Rd and Guyan Creek Rd, which connect small communities such as Clover and Swann. The prevalence of small, church-affiliated cemeteries like Swan Creek Methodist Episcopal Cem reflects the deep-rooted genealogical record of the surrounding river valleys and hollows.
