About this map

The Ohio River flows through this 1961 landscape, defining the border between Ohio and West Virginia. This section of the river valley is characterized by significant riparian features like Washington Bottom and the mid-river islands of Mustapha Island and Newberry I. On the West Virginia side, the town of Lubeck sits atop Hickman Ridge, while the hills of Harris and Steele districts are densely packed with small family cemeteries and remote hollows.

Transport and recreation of the mid-century era are evident at the Ohio Valley Speedway near Woodyards and the river access at Harris Ferry. The map records a rural network of small-scale institutions, from Wadeville Sch to numerous country churches like Bethany Ch and Union Chapel. Notable historical markers include Fort Belleville Cem, situated near the riverbanks of Belleville, providing a clear look at the early settlement patterns of Wood County before modern development.
