2016 Map of Wheelersburg

About this map

Wheelersburg and its surrounding communities occupy the fertile terraces along the Ohio River and the meandering path of Pine Creek. This landscape is defined by its deep cultural roots, evident in the high density of burial grounds such as Old Wheelersburg Cem, Memorial Burial Park, and Floral Hills Memory Gardens Cem. The transition from the river valley to the wooded uplands is marked by the rugged reaches of the Wayne National Forest and numerous named drainages like Lick Run and Sugar Camp Cr. The settlement pattern reflects long-standing industrial and transport hubs, from Franklin Furnace in the south to the residential clusters of Garden City and Sand Hill. Researchers can trace the alignment of Ohio River RD and discover smaller locales like Allentown and Powellsville that anchor the rural interior.
