2011 Map of New Martinsville

About this map

New Martinsville and the Ohio River corridor define this 2011 topographic record of the West Virginia-Ohio borderlands. The industrial and transportation character of the riverfront is evident through specialized infrastructure like the New Martinsville Seaplane Base, the New Martinsville Marina, and the P W Johnson Memorial Airport. Beyond the urban centers of Steelton and Brooklyn, the landscape transitions into a series of deeply dissected ridges, including American Ridge and Proctor Ridge, which are dotted with family and community burial grounds such as Huff Family Cemetery and the Schupbach Cemetery. The presence of 3b 3a Slurry Impoundments 3 near Opossum Creek illustrates the industrial utility of the terrain adjacent to traditional rural settlements like Proctor and Natrium. This survey captures the complex layers of the Ohio Valley, where river-dependent commerce meets the legacy of upland farming and family genealogy.
