About this map

The Ohio River carves a sweeping path between West Virginia and Ohio, anchoring a landscape of tight river bends and productive bottomlands. Along the eastern bank, the river-fronting settlements of New Haven, Antiquity, and Letart follow the narrow alluvial plains, while Letart Bottoms and Weaver Bar indicate the shifting hydrology of this vital waterway. In the interior, the terrain transitions into a dense network of ridges and hollows drained by Broad Run, Robinson Run, and Seaman Run.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Upper Flats White Church Cem, Graham Cem, and Peter Fry Cem. The presence of small hamlets like Board and Plants, alongside landmarks such as Elroy Kaylor Spring and Letart Island, illustrates the historical settlement patterns that persisted long after the initial river-based expansion. The map also traces modern developments such as the Middle Ohio River Trail, showing the transition from industrial transport to recreational use of the river corridor.
