2011 Map of Wheeling

About this map

Wheeling and the industrial banks of the Ohio River appear in this 2011 survey, showing the complex interplay of river commerce and urban expansion. The central river geography is defined by Wheeling Island, connected by the historic Wheeling Suspension Bridge and Fort Henry Bridge to the bustling mainland wharf and downtown district. The map captures a sophisticated network of early 21st-century infrastructure, including the Wheeling and Lake Erie RR and a dense array of neighborhoods from North Wheeling to Elm Grove. To the east, the landscape transitions from the urban core toward the educational grounds of Wheeling Jesuit University and Mount de Chantal. Local heritage is deeply etched into the hillsides, marked by numerous burial grounds like Mount Wood Cemetery and Riverview Cemetery, alongside industrial features like the Ayers Limestone Quarry and the specialized Warwood-Martins Ferry Seaplane Base.
