1926 Map of New Matamoras

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The Ohio River flows past the riverfront towns of New Matamoras and Sistersville in this mid-1920s survey, marking the vital border between Ohio and West Virginia. On the West Virginia side, the Baltimore & Ohio RR follows the shoreline through Friendly, while the Ohio interior is defined by deeply dissected creek valleys and remote settlements. Researchers will find several dual-named locations where the village name differed from the post office designation, including Mechanicsburg (Aitch PO), Brownsville (Jolly PO), and Cochransville (Centerview PO). The landscape is dotted with early 20th-century landmarks of rural life, such as Rinard Mills, the Yellow House, and the Quarry Cem. The network of forks and runs, such as Rich Fork and Wolfpen Run, illustrates a terrain where travel was dictated by the winding waterways of Monroe and Washington Counties.
