2014 Map of New Haven

About this map

The Ohio River carves a dramatic northward bend through this borderland, separating the river towns of West Virginia from the riverside communities of Meigs County, Ohio. On the West Virginia side, the industrial and residential grid of New Haven and Hartford City sits against the riverbanks, while the interior landscape is defined by high ridges like Board and Cedar Hill. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history through numerous burial grounds, including the Old Hartford Cem, Yonker Cem, and the Evergreen Cem near the southern bend. Rural life is anchored by landmarks such as the Upper Flats White Church and distinctive natural features like Letart Island and Finlaw Lake. Small named runs and creeks, such as Jennie Watts Run and Tuppers Run, drain the dissected hills into the main river channel, illustrating the traditional topography of the Ohio Valley.
