1960 Map of Wellsville

About this map

Wellsville and its industrial riverfront dominate this 1960 topographic survey along the Ohio River, where the Conrail line snakes past the Wellsville City Pumping Station and the Sewage Disposal facility. This era shows a landscape defined by heavy extraction and regional transport, with numerous Strip Mines and a Quarry dotting the hills above the river valley. The confluence of Yellow Creek and the Ohio serves as a focal point for several smaller communities, including Congo and Lennyville, while the New Cumberland Lock and Dam downstream near Stratton regulates the river's commercial traffic.
