About this map

The confluence of the Muskingum River and the Ohio River centers this mid-1990s portrait of Ohio’s oldest organized settlement. The urban core of Marietta reveals its deep history through landmarks like the Campus Martius Museum and the Fort Harmar Monument, while the prehistoric Mound in Quadranaou Park reflects much earlier origins. Cultural and educational life is anchored by Marietta College, surrounded by local institutions like St Marys Sch and the historic Courthouse.

Beyond the city center, the landscape transitions into a mix of riverfront industry and suburban neighborhoods like Rathbone, Norwood, and Devola. The B & O RR tracks follow the riverbanks, serving a region shaped by both water and rail. To the north and east, the terrain becomes more varied near Donation Trace, while the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge preserves the natural character of Buckley Island within the river’s flow.
