1969 Map of Marietta

About this map

The confluence of the Ohio River and Muskingum River anchors this 1969 survey of Marietta, Ohio, and Williamstown, West Virginia. The landscape is defined by its deep historical roots, featuring landmarks like the Fort Harmar Monument and the ancient earthworks within Mound Cem and Sacra Via Park. This edition captures the city's civic core, including Marietta College, the Courthouse, and the Campus Martius Museum, alongside industrialized riverfronts served by the Baltimore and Ohio and Conrail railroads. North of the main city, the residential expansion into Devola, Oak Grove, and Rathbone is visible, while the eastern edge is marked by the winding course of Duck Creek and the wooded terrain of the Wayne National Forest. The presence of Buckley Island and Muskingum Island highlights the traditional river-oriented economy before modern interstate development altered these shorelines.
