1968 Map of Weirton

About this map

Industrial developments along the Ohio River define this mid-century portrait of the tri-state border. The heavy footprint of Weirton dominates the landscape, featuring extensive residential expansion into Weirton Heights and the hilltop neighborhood of Marland Heights. The valley floor is tightly packed with the infrastructure of the steel era, including the Pennsylvania Railroad and various filtration plants. Across the river, Toronto shows a dense grid of streets like Main St and Trenton St, while the northern reaches near New Cumberland maintain a mix of municipal utility sites and hilly terrain. A notable environmental detail is the presence of a Reclaimed Strip Mine near Harmon Creek, reflecting the region's transition from active extraction to land management. Local heritage is preserved in sites such as St Pauls Cem and the Old Meridian Monument near the state line.
