2002 Map of Glenwood

About this map

The Ohio River forms the defining boundary of this West Virginia landscape, where the communities of Glenwood and Ashton sit along the narrow river valley before the terrain rises sharply into the ridges. This survey reflects the rural settlement patterns along the river and its many tributaries, such as Eighteenmile Creek and Guyan Creek. Local history is deeply etched into the topography through numerous community landmarks, including Moores Chapel, Mt Zion Ch, and Sunrise Ch, along with the Swan Creek Sch. The interior is characterized by significant relief, with Hannah Ridge and Barker Ridge overlooking narrow hollows like Big Hill Hollow. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting these small communities, from the Scenic River Road to the numerous smaller settlements like Clover and Gwinn that follow the creek beds.
