About this map

Wheelersburg and its surrounding communities are documented here as they appeared in 2013, bounded by the Ohio River and the expansive ridges of the Wayne National Forest. This survey illustrates a landscape of clustered river-valley settlements such as Franklin Furnace, Sciotodale, and Garden City, many of which grew along the historic Gallia Pike Rd. The terrain is deeply carved by countless named hollows, including Smithline Hollow, Riepenhoff Hollow, and Franklin Hollow, reflecting the region's complex topography.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, from the large Memorial Burial Park and Floral Hills Memory Gardens Cem to smaller family and church grounds like Feurt Cem and Dold Cem. Industrial and transport heritage is represented by the CSX Transportation rail corridor and historic riverside locations such as Franklin Furnace Landing and Folsoms Landing, which point to the area's long-standing connection to riverborne commerce.
