1961 Map of South Parkersburg
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
South Parkersburg and the surrounding reaches of the Little Kanawha River reflect a landscape of transition between mid-century industrial growth and the deeply dissected ridges of Wood County. The industrial presence of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor anchors the urban expansion south of the city, while the rural interior is characterized by family-named ridges and hollows, such as Homewood Ridge and Boga Ridge. The map documents a dense network of local landmarks, including the Gihon Ch and numerous small family burial grounds like the Butcher Cem and Stephens Cem.
