About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley through the tri-state border region of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, anchoring a dense network of industrial and transport hubs. Early 20th-century East Liverpool and Wellsville stand as primary centers of activity, where the Cleveland and Pittsburgh RR and other Pennsylvania lines hug the shoreline to service the local pottery and manufacturing economies.

Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain rises toward Round Knob, revealing a landscape dotted with rural settlements like Sprucevale, Cannons Mill, and Grimms Bridge. The map captures a vital snapshot of the area's geography before significant 20th-century changes, showing the numerous runs and creeks, such as Little Beaver Creek and Yellow Creek, that dictated the placement of early mills and the Camp Ground in the south.
