1961 Map of Wheelersburg

About this map

The Ohio River shoreline defines the western edge of this landscape, where the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads parallel the water. The community of Wheelersburg serves as a primary hub, showing significant residential expansion by the mid-1970s, including the Hillcrest Childrens Home and a Drive-in Theater. Further inland, the terrain transitions into the heavily wooded valleys of the Wayne National Forest, marked by numerous family-named hollows such as Germany Hollow and Possum Hollow.
