1960 Map of Powhatan Point

About this map

The Ohio River corridor at the intersection of West Virginia and Ohio reveals a dense landscape of industrial development and rural ridges during the mid-20th century. Large-scale infrastructure like the Baltimore and Ohio and Conrail rail lines hug the riverbanks, serving the heavy industries found at Natrium and Cresap. Along the western shore, Powhatan Point stands as a primary population center, while across the water in West Virginia, small riverside settlements like Woodlands and Franklin occupy the narrow floodplain beneath Burch Ridge.
