1968 Map of Weirton
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Ohio River forms the industrial backbone of this corridor, where the Penn Central railroad tracks parallel the water to serve the heavy manufacturing centers of Weirton and Toronto. The map reveals the intense mid-century development of the tri-state area, with the sprawling residential neighborhoods of Weirton Heights and Marland Heights expanding eastward into the hills. Notable for its industrial footprint, the sheet identifies the Slag Dump and Filtration Plant essential to the local economy. Beyond the steel-town core, the landscape transitions to the small-town character of New Cumberland and the rural hills of Butler and Clay townships. Local landmarks like the Williams Country Club and the Weirton Airport illustrate the city's mid-century peak, while sites like the Sacred Heart of Mary Ch and Union Cem offer essential data for genealogical research in this historic border region.
