About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley through this industrial and residential corridor where Ohio and West Virginia meet. Along the western banks, a dense string of riverside settlements including Tiltonsville, Yorkville, and Rayland line the narrow flats below Chestnut Ridge. This geography dictated the path of critical transportation infrastructure, now visible as both active corridors and recreational paths like the Ohio River Rail-Trl and the Brooke Pioneer Rail-Trl.

Evidence of much earlier habitation remains at the Indian Mound near Tiltonsville, while the upland ridges are dotted with small burial grounds such as Hopewell Methodist Cem and the Bayless Private Cem. The landscape transitions from the river-level industry of Power and Stringer to the heights of Pettit Heights and the Wheeling Ohio County Airport, illustrating the complex topography that has shaped development in Jefferson and Brooke counties for generations.
