1913 Map of Sciotoville

About this map

The Ohio River corridor and its industrial northern banks define this 1913 survey, where river-based transport intersects with an extensive network of rail lines including the Norfolk and Western RR and the Chesapeake and Ohio RR. Near the river's edge, the Star Brickyard and the community of Sciotoville suggest an era of active manufacturing. Further inland, the landscape is characterized by narrow valleys and steep ridges, such as Niner Hill and Strauss Ridge, which are dotted with dozens of one-room schoolhouses like Bonser Run School and Tick Ridge School.
