1968 Map of Tiltonsville

About this map

The Ohio River corridor at the convergence of Ohio and West Virginia reveals a landscape of heavy industrial infrastructure and dense riverside settlements. In this 1968 study, the river is the central artery, dominated by the Pike Island Lock and Dam and flanked by the Penn Central and Norfolk and Western railroads. Communities like Tiltonsville and Yorkville are tightly packed between the water and the rising terrain of Chestnut Ridge.
