About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley through this industrial and residential corridor, anchoring the historic riverfront communities of Steubenville and Weirton. By the early 21st century, the landscape reflects generations of development across the West Virginia-Ohio border, from the riverside docks at Wellsburg Wharf to the suburban expansion at Hooverson Heights and Longview Heights. Significant civil engineering projects facilitate movement through the steep terrain, notably the Wabash Bridge and the Wellsburg Tunnel.

Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds across the hills, including Saint Andrews Cem, Junction Cem, and Grove Cem. Beyond the urban centers, the map documents smaller settlements like Coketown and Shank Town, as well as the transition from industrial valleys to recreational spaces like Brooke Hills Park Golf Course. The network of runs and hollows, such as Mahan Run and Brown Hollow, highlights the complex topography that shaped the growth of Brooke and Jefferson counties.
