1976 Map of Huntington
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Ohio River serves as the central artery of this 1976 orthophotoquad, dividing the dense urban grid of Huntington and Harveytown in West Virginia from the rural hills of Ohio. This aerial perspective, captured by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, reveals the stark contrast between the industrialized riverbank and the winding creek valleys to the north. Smaller settlements like Chesapeake and Proctorville cling to the northern shore, while the interior of Lawrence County is defined by the drainages of Symmes Creek and Indian Guyan Creek. In the southeast, the confluence of the Guyandotte River marks a major geographical junction, highlighting the importance of river-based commerce and transportation for this tri-state region during the mid-1970s.
