2023 Map of Steubenville East

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley through this industrial corridor along the border of Ohio and West Virginia, anchoring a string of historic river towns. From Steubenville and Mingo Junction on the western bank to Follansbee and Wellsburg on the eastern side, the map reveals a landscape defined by steel-industry origins and steep topography. The convergence of the Wheeling & Lake Erie RR and Norfolk Southern Railway highlights the area’s enduring role as a transportation hub. Local history is deeply etched into the hillsides at Mingo Junction Cem and Saint Andrews Cem, while the Brooke Pioneer Rail-Trl and Panhandle Rail-Trl reflect the modern repurposing of former industrial corridors. The transition from the dense urban grids of Archer Heights and Hooverson Heights to the high ridges of McKim Ridge and Mechling Hill illustrates the challenging terrain that governed regional development.
