2016 Map of Moundsville

About this map

Moundsville and the Ohio River dominate the western edge of this 2016 survey, where the ancient Grave Creek Indian Mound stands as a landmark amidst the modern city grid. The landscape quickly transitions from the river valley into a complex network of ridges and hollows, including Fork Ridge, Waymans Ridge, and Sorghum Ridge. These uplands are dotted with small rural communities like Sherrard, Limestone, and Pleasant Valley, each connected by winding roads that follow the high ground above drainages like Middle Grave Cr and Little Grave Cr.
