1997 Map of Steubenville East

About this map

The Ohio River corridor serves as the industrial and social backbone for this region where Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania meet. The riverfront is densely developed with infrastructure like the Wabash Bridge and municipal centers in Steubenville, Follansbee, and Wellsburg. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises into ridges such as Mahan Ridge and Montgomery Hill, where small settlements and rural landmarks persist. The landscape is a mix of urban density and extractive industry, evidenced by the numerous strip mines that punctuate the hillsides. Institutional life is well-documented through a network of parochial schools, including St Stanislaus Sch and St Agnes Sch, alongside several community hubs like the Home for the Aged. This mid-to-late 20th-century landscape reveals the deeply etched patterns of coal mining and river-borne commerce that shaped these valley communities.
