2002 Map of New Matamoras

About this map

New Matamoras and Sistersville anchor this reach of the Ohio River at the start of the 21st century, showing the enduring river-town character of the border between Ohio and West Virginia. Much of the western interior is occupied by the Wayne National Forest, where steep ridges like Greenbrier Ridge and Clark Ridge are dissected by countless runs. Small, isolated settlements such as Jericho, Poulton, and Brownsville dot the uplands, often centered around landmarks like Salem Hall or Washington Hall. The river itself is a focal point for conservation and recreation, featuring the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge and several large islands, including Wells Island and Grandview Island. Traces of local industry appear at the Sand and Gravel Pits near Grandview, while the Ring Mill Canoe Access provides a modern recreational link to the Little Muskingum River.
