2019 Map of New Boston

About this map

New Boston and the eastern edge of Portsmouth anchor the southern border of this landscape where the Scioto River and Little Scioto River converge with the Ohio River. The map reveals a densely dissected topography of named hollows and ridges, such as Woods Ridge and Pyle Hollow, reflecting the complex drainage patterns of the northern Appalachians. Small settlements and historic industrial sites like Harrison Furnace are distributed among these valleys, connected by a network of rural roads such as Houston Hollow-Long Run Rd. Local history is preserved in several small burying grounds, including Harrison Furnace Cem and Summers Cem. Near the riverfront, urban residential patterns in Sciotoville and North Moreland contrast with the rugged, wooded slopes of Feurt Hill and Fort Hollow, illustrating how the region's geography dictated its development during the early 21st century.
