1997 Map of Tiltonsville
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Industrial and aviation infrastructure lines the banks of the Ohio River in this late-twentieth-century study of the borderlands between Ohio and West Virginia. The river valley serves as a dense corridor for transport and industry, featuring the Wheeling and Lake Erie RR and the massive Pike Island Lock and Dam. On the Ohio side, the steel-town character of Tiltonsville and Yorkville is evident, while the West Virginia heights are dominated by the Wheeling-Ohio County Airport. Historical landmarks are preserved amidst the modern utility, including the Betty Zane Mon and several hilltop houses of worship like Rush Run Chapel and Chapel Hill Ch. The map captures the specialized geography of the river towns, where narrow strips of development like Warrenton and Rayland are squeezed between the water and the steep slopes of Chestnut Ridge.
