The Ohio River forms the industrial and geographic spine of this borderland region, separating Jefferson Co, Ohio from Brooke Co, West Virginia. In the late 20th century, the landscape reflects a complex layering of extractive industry and river navigation, anchored by the massive Pike Island Lock and Dam. Compact river towns like Tiltonsville and Yorkville are hemmed in by the waterway and the steep rises of Chestnut Ridge, where numerous oil wells and strip mines dot the upland terrain.
