2013 Map of Wellsville

About this map

Wellsville and the industrial corridor of the upper Ohio River dominate this survey, where the river serves as the tri-state boundary between Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The settlement pattern follows the river's path, from the riverfront communities of Stratton and Empire in the south to the northern bend near Wells Hollow. The landscape is defined by the steep dissection of the plateau by tributaries like Yellow Creek and Little Yellow Cr, creating isolated upland communities such as Hammondsville and New Somerset.
