About this map

Steubenville and Follansbee anchor this tri-state corridor where the Ohio River carves through the industrial landscape of the Upper Ohio Valley. The map captures a complex network of transportation and topography, from the Wells Creek Bar in the river to the high ground of McKim Ridge and Mechling Hill. Industrial legacies are written into the land through features like Allegheny Steel Run and the Panhandle Rail-Trail, while the engineering challenges of the area are evident in the Wellsburg Tunnel, Coen Tunnel, and the Wabash Bridge crossing.

Smaller settlements such as Archer Heights, Hooverson Heights, and Mingo Junction are clustered along the riverbanks and ridges. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites preserved across the terrain, including Franklin Cem, Cross Creek Cem, and Georges Run Cem. The map clearly delineates the convergence of West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, marked by the State Line Tunnel near Virginville and Penowa.
