1960 Map of New Martinsville

About this map

The Ohio River corridor serves as the industrial and transportation backbone for this river valley, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads hug the banks. In the north, the Natrium Chemical Plant and its adjacent Settling Pond at Natrium reflect the mid-century industrial expansion, while the town of New Martinsville anchoring the south shows a detailed grid of residential streets, the County Infirmary, and a Drive-in Theater. Across the water, the town of Hannibal and the landing for the Ferry at Duffy highlight the cross-river connections of the era.
