Midland and Shippingport anchor this industrial stretch of the Ohio River in western Beaver County. The landscape is defined by the river’s massive scale, including Georgetown Island and the specialized J and L Mill Operation Pvt RR serving local industrial needs. Smaller settlements like Blackhawk, Five Points, and Industry are connected by a network of runs, including Wolf Run and Sixmile Run, which cut through the terrain. Evidence of regional infrastructure and recreation appears in the form of the Sainovich Airport and several golf courses, such as Rolling Acres Golf Course. This 2013 survey reflects a post-industrial landscape where the river remains the primary geographic focus, bordered by towns that grew around the steel and shipping industries of the upper Ohio valley.
