About this map

Saint Marys and Newport anchor this riverine corridor where the Ohio River separates West Virginia and Ohio. The landscape is defined by its relationship to the water, featuring a specialized Saint Marys Seaplane Base and the Hi Carpenter Memorial Bridge connecting the two states. The mapping detail reveals a dense network of family and community landmarks, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery and the German Cemetery on Bell Ridge. Historical landings like Schoosters Landing and Murphys Landing dot the banks near Grape Island and Middle Island, reflecting the river's enduring role in local transport. Inland, the terrain rises into ridges and hollows like Barnes Hollow and Pine Ridge, where small settlements such as Archers Fork and Deucher persist along winding township roads.
