1904 Map of Wellsville

About this map

The industrial and riverine character of the tri-state border region is clearly defined by the Ohio River as it snakes through this 1904 survey. Major ceramic and manufacturing centers like East Liverpool and Wellsville anchor the riverbanks, showing their dense urban footprints before the era of modern highway expansion. The landscape is heavily marked by the infrastructure of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh RR and the Pennsylvania Co, tracing the river's path and connecting small coal and clay-working hamlets like Irondale and Empire.
