1968 Map of Tiltonsville

About this map

The Ohio River corridor serves as the industrial and transportation backbone for these riverfront communities during the late 1960s. Major settlements including Tiltonsville, Yorkville, and Rayland line the western bank, supported by the Norfolk and Western railroad. Across the water in West Virginia, the Conrail line skirts the edge of Beech Bottom and Windsor Heights. This era of the valley is defined by heavy infrastructure, from the Pike Island Lock and Dam to the sprawling Wheeling-Ohio County Airport situated atop the eastern plateau.
