1960 Map of Powhatan Point

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Ohio River corridor defines this borderlands region between Ohio and West Virginia, where the river serves as both a political boundary and an industrial artery. Along the western shore, the settlement of Powhatan Point sits at the mouth of Captina Creek, marked by its transition from a rail-dependent river town to an industrial hub with a sewage disposal plant and substations appearing by the late 1970s. Further south, the map reveals the industrial footprint at Natrium and Cresap, including chemical facilities and conveyors that underscore the valley's manufacturing character.
