1972 Map of Ironton

About this map

Industrial and rural landscapes converge along the Ohio River in this early 1970s study of the Ironton corridor. The region's deep roots in the iron industry are evidenced by the Vesuvius Furnace (Ruins) near Lake Vesuvius and several Strip Mine operations scattered through the Wayne National Forest uplands. The riverfront is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads, which service the riverside settlements of Russell, Hanging Rock, and Coal Grove.
