1956 Map of Wheeling
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Wheeling and the industrial corridor of the Ohio River dominate this mid-century portrait of the tri-state border. The landscape is a complex mix of urban density and steep, wooded hollows, where major transportation arteries like the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads follow the riverbanks and creek valleys. Notable institutions such as Wheeling College and Mt de Chantal Academy occupy the ridges overlooking the city, while the massive Oglebay Park provides a transition to the more rural character of Richland and Triadelphia.
