About this map

The Ohio River snakes through the heart of this early twentieth-century landscape, defining the border between Ohio and West Virginia. Small river towns like Hockingport and Reedsville serve as critical points of contact where the water economy meets the agrarian interior. To the north, the Hocking River converges with the Ohio near Coolville, where the Baltimore and Ohio RR provides a vital inland connection. The topography is deeply dissected, with ridges such as Jasper Hill and Brimstone Ridge rising above a dense network of runs and hollows.
