2023 Map of Lubeck

About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide, sweeping bend as it passes Blennerhassett and the wooded banks of Mustapha Island, defining the border between West Virginia and Ohio. This riverine landscape is characterized by deep hollows and narrow ridges, such as Youba Ridge and New England Ridge, which channel drainage into complex creek systems like Lee Creek and Sandy Creek. The map documents a dense network of family and community history through its numerous cemeteries, including the Lubeck Cem and the Fort Belleville Cem near the southern river flats. Small settlements like Washington Gardens and Oak Acres contrast with the more traditional rural crossroads of New England and Wadeville. The presence of sites like the Fairview Methodist (Episcopal) Church and various named landforms such as Saddle Back Knob suggest a long-established upland community structured around geography and faith.
