1968 Map of Wheeling
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Ohio River carves a deep valley through this industrial and residential landscape, separating Wheeling and Benwood in West Virginia from Martins Ferry and Bellaire in Ohio. The map captures a moment when the region's heavy rail infrastructure was still highly visible, with the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads tracing the riverbanks and intersecting at Benwood Junction. On the West Virginia side, the topography rises sharply from the floodplains into high, rolling hills occupied by institutional landmarks like Wheeling College and the Mt de Chantal Academy.
