About this map

Powhatan Point sits at the confluence of Captina Creek and the Ohio River, serving as a central hub for this riverfront landscape at the start of the 21st century. The map illustrates a region defined by industrial and maritime activity, with numerous landings such as Little Run Landing and Hubbs Landing dotting the shoreline alongside the Ireland Mine. The intricate series of dams, including Quarto Mine Number Four Dam Number Two and several related structures, indicates a heavily managed water system supporting local resource extraction and processing facilities like the Mitchell Plant Bottom Ash Pond Dam.

Away from the industrial banks, the terrain rises into named ridges like Arman Ridge and Taylors Ridge, where numerous family and community burial grounds are found. Genealogists may find value in the many documented sites including Saint Johns Cemetery, Graysville Cemetery, and Harbison Cemetery. The map also captures smaller communities like Steinersville and Clarington, connected by a network of rural routes such as German Ridge Rd and Twp Hwy 2190.
