About this map

The Ohio River forms the dominant geographic corridor for this region south of Parkersburg, defining a landscape shaped by river landings and small valley settlements. Along the western bank, the map records a string of transit points including Duttons Landing, Parkers Landing, and the Harris Ferry crossing. These riverfront sites historically linked the interior ridges of Wood County to the water-borne commerce of the valley.

Further inland, the community of Lubeck serves as a residential hub, surrounded by post-war developments like New England Heights Addition and Washington Gardens. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds such as Munchmeyers Cemetery, Hickenbottom Cemetery, and Stephens Cemetery. Religious life is anchored by landmarks like Bethany Christian Church and the Fairview Methodist Episcopal Church, while recreational sites like the Torch Speedway and Ohio Valley Speedway suggest the local culture of the early 21st century.
