About this map

The Ohio River corridor serves as the primary artery for this industrial and residential landscape, connecting long-established communities across the state line. On the West Virginia side, the city of Wellsburg shows its maritime and aviation character through the Wellsburg Wharf and the Wellsburg Seaplane Base, while the town of Follansbee occupies a narrow strip of land between the river and the rising hills. The topography is defined by numerous drainage systems like Harmon Creek, which features a series of flood control structures including Harmon Creek Structure Number Two Dam and Harmon Creek Structure Number Thirteen Dam.

Residential expansion is evident in the upland areas, where neighborhoods such as Hooverson Heights, Archer Heights, and Longview Heights overlook the river valley. The map also documents significant local heritage sites, from Saint Andrews Cemetery and Cross Creek Cemetery to the sprawling Highland Hills Memorial Gardens. Industrial infrastructure remains a hallmark of the region, notably represented by the Wellsburg Tunnel and the State Line Tunnel, which facilitate transport through the area's steep terrain.
