About this map

Wheeling Creek and McMahon Creek carve through the hills of Belmont County, defining a landscape of coal-era settlements and hollows. This survey of the region west of the Ohio River shows the dense network of small communities such as Lansing, Wolfhurst, and Blaine clustered along National Rd E. The map records a high concentration of small burial grounds and landmarks essential for genealogical research, including the Hardesty Cem, Linwood Cem, and the Methodist Ridge Ch.

Industrial and transport history is visible through the route of the B & O RR and the proximity of the Ohio Valley Mall. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Neffs and McClainville, where named features like Soaptown Hollow and Mutton Hollow reflect the local nomenclature of the Appalachian plateau. The map captures the transition from the bustling riverside environments near Bellaire and Bridgeport to the high ridges of the interior.
