1968 Map of New Haven

About this map

The Ohio River carves a sharp serpentine path through this 1960s riverfront landscape, dividing the communities of New Haven and Hartford, West Virginia, from their neighbors in Syracuse and Racine, Ohio. This corridor is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the era, including the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line tracing the riverbank and the industrial presence of a powerplant and Graham Station. While the river serves as a modern industrial artery, ancient history remains visible at the Indian Mound near Dorcas, and the river’s natural hazards are marked by Letart Falls.
