1960 Map of New Matamoras

About this map

New Matamoras and the opposite bank at Friendly anchor this riverfront survey, which documents the mid-century landscape along the Ohio River border between Ohio and West Virginia. The river is a corridor of industry and transport, featuring the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor on the eastern bank and a series of large river features including Crab Island, Wells Island, and Mill Creek Island. A ferry crossing at Fly connects the two states, while the interior of Monroe County is characterized by the wooded ridges of the Wayne National Forest.
