About this map

The Ohio River corridor north of Parkersburg is defined by a dense network of river-and-rail infrastructure and mid-century upland development. Significant transport hubs like the Wood County Airport and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad serve the region, while the river itself features Muskingum Island and a series of lock-and-dam markers. The landscape transitions from the river flats near Boaz and Reno into the dissected hills of Ashby Ridge and Spider Ridge.
