About this map

Portsmouth and the industrial riverfront of New Boston anchor the southern edge of this landscape, where the Scioto River meets the Ohio River. The terrain north of the city centers is defined by a dense network of named hollows and ridges, including Pyle Hollow, Houston Hollow, and Woods Ridge, the latter of which features the Woods Ridge Lookout Tower. The mapping of this area reveals a transition from dense urban street grids near 23rd St and 25th St to smaller outlying settlements like Rubyville, Eden Park, and Twin Valley.

Genealogical and local interest is found in the various historic burial grounds such as Stony Hill Cem and the Candy Run Baptist Cem. The name Harrison Furnace points to the region's early industrial roots, appearing here alongside a dedicated Harrison Furnace Cemetery. Transport corridors like US Highway 23 and the Oh-139 provide the modern framework for this deeply dissected Appalachian landscape.
