About this map

The Ohio River corridor serves as the industrial and civic spine of this region, separating Martins Ferry and Bridgeport in Ohio from the dense urban infrastructure of Wheeling, West Virginia. The map details the complex geography of the river's banks, from the residential heart of Wheeling Island to the institutional grounds of Mt de Chantal Academy and the sprawling Oglebay Park to the northeast. Transportation networks are prominent, featuring the Ft Henry Bridge and the Wheeling Terminal RR which supported the area's coal and manufacturing legacy.

Neighborhoods like Woodsdale, Elm Grove, and Warwood show the established residential patterns of the late 20th century, while labels for a mine dump and various active mines point to the persistent influence of the extractive industry. Genealogists will find significant value in the clear demarcation of Greenwood Cemetery and Mt Calvary Cemetery, as well as numerous local landmarks including Corpus Christi Ch and the Mt St Joseph Convent.
