About this map

Wheelersburg serves as a primary hub of activity along the Ohio River in this early 21st-century survey, flanked by a network of hills and hollows that define the border between Ohio and Kentucky. The industrial and transit footprint is evident in the path of the Norfolk and Western railroad and landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and Greenup Locks and Dam. Cultural and genealogical history is anchored by several sites of local importance, including Floral Hills Memory Gardens and the Brick Union Ch near the riverfront.

To the east, the terrain transitions into the protected acreage of Wayne National Forest, where a Strip Mine and scattered hollows like Germany Hollow and Tick Hollow suggest a landscape shaped by both natural contours and extractive industry. Small settlements such as Franklin Furnace and Powellsville remain connected by winding roads through the French Grants, revealing the persistent rural settlement patterns that have characterized Scioto County for generations.
