1994 Map of Valley Mills

About this map

Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Muskingum Island dominate the river channel north of Waverly, showing the ecological character of the border between West Virginia and Ohio. This 1990s update, based on 1950s topography, reveals a landscape of ridge-top schools and country churches, such as Mt Moriah Ch and the Old Boreman Sch along the winding ridges above Worthington Creek. The interior is marked by aviation and recreation, featuring the Wood County Airport and a Drive-in Theater tucked near Valley Mills. Near the riverbank, Old Lock No 17 provides a specific point of reference for the earlier engineering of the river navigation system. The map serves as a detailed record of rural West Virginia's infrastructure, from the East Lawn Mem Cem to isolated settlements like Tallyho and Doyle.
