2010 Map of New Boston

About this map

Harrison Furnace stands as a testament to the iron industrial legacy of the region, situated along the eastern edge of this 2010 topographic study. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Ohio River, the Scioto River, and the Little Scioto River, which frame the urban developments of Portsmouth, New Boston, and Sciotoville. Inland, the terrain is deeply dissected by a dense network of named hollows such as Burns Hollow, Greenbrier Hollow, and Whippoorwill Hollow, reflecting the complex drainage patterns feeding into the river valleys. Cultural landmarks including the Woods Ridge Lookout Tower and numerous family and church burial grounds like Summers Cemetery and Stony Hill Cemetery provide significant points of interest for local history researchers and genealogists tracing the settlement patterns north of the river.
