About this map

High Ridge and the deep incisions of Wheeling Creek define this portion of Belmont County, where industrial history and rural topography meet. While the landscape is heavily marked by Strip Mines and modern commercial development like the Ohio Valley Mall Shopping Center, the map reveals a network of older settlements such as Barton, Blaine, and Neffs that grew alongside the Wheeling and Lake Erie and Baltimore and Ohio railroads.

Genealogists can trace numerous family burial grounds and community focal points, including High Ridge Cem, Linwood Cemetery, and Rock Hill Ch. The presence of the National Road and the long-established Telephone Line underscores the area's role as a vital transportation corridor connecting the Ohio River hinterlands near Bellaire and Bridgeport. The detailed topography captures a moment before further reclamation might obscure the extent of local mining activity.
