1898 Map of Ironton

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The industrial heart of southern Ohio along the Ohio River is captured here during the late nineteenth century, dominated by the iron-producing economy of the Hanging Rock region. Ironton serves as the primary hub, where the Dayton Hamilton & Cincinnati R.R. and Ironton R.R. converge to move ore and finished goods. The map reveals a landscape defined by its furnaces, including Vesuvius Furnace and Center Furnace, which were critical to the area's charcoal iron industry.
