About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery for this industrial corridor, dividing the settlements of Steubenville and Mingo Junction from their West Virginia neighbors. The landscape is characterized by steep valley walls and narrow hollows like Skull Hollow and Number Two Hollow, where residential pockets such as Coketown and Follansbee cling to the riverfront benches. These communities are physically connected by landmark crossings including the Market Street Bridge and the Wabash Bridge, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on heavy transport.

Further inland, the transition from heavy industry to rural heights is marked by several significant burial sites, including the Mingo Junction Cem and Oak Grove Cem. Historical transit routes are preserved in the form of the Panhandle Rail-Trail and the Brooke Pioneer Rail-Trail, which trace the paths of former rail lines through the hills. Unique engineering features such as the Wellsburg Tunnel and State Line Tunnel indicate the difficult terrain overcome by 20th-century infrastructure planners.
