About this map

St. Clairsville serves as the central hub of this Belmont County survey, where the historic National Rd W corridor intersects with modern transport routes. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Wheeling Creek and McMahon Creek, which have carved out deep hollows such as Coaly Hollow and Coaly Hollow. These valleys historically dictated the placement of small coal-era settlements and rail lines, including the Wheeling & Lake Erie RR which follows the southern creek bed.

Genealogists will find a high density of local heritage sites, from the Ohio University-Eastern Campus to numerous legacy burial grounds like Union Cem, Friends Cem, and the E Richland Cem. The terrain south of the city remains marked by local landmarks like Galloway Knob and rural infrastructure such as Alderman Airport and Camp Bonnie Belmont. The presence of the St. Clairsville Reservoir Number Two and Number One highlights the area's developed water management for the surrounding communities.
