2019 Map of Parkersburg

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this landscape at the confluence with the Little Kanawha River, serving as the boundary between Washington Co and Wood Co. The West Virginia side shows the dense urban expansion of Parkersburg and Vienna, where industrial corridors along the CSX Transportation line meet residential developments in North Hills and Woodland Park. Historical land use is evident in the numerous burial grounds, such as Mount Olivet Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, which sit alongside mid-century civic structures like the Parkersburg High School. Across the water in Ohio, the terrain transitions to the ridges and runs of Belpre and Rockland. Notable river features include the elongated Blennerhassett Island and its landmark Blennerhassett Bluff, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Memorial Bridge and the winding Blennerhassett Island Loop Trail.
