1994 Map of Willow Island

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Ohio River corridor defines this borderlands region between Ohio and West Virginia, where industrial and natural landscapes converge at the Willow Island Locks and Dam. This mid-century survey, photo-inspected in the 1990s, reveals a terrain deeply influenced by resource extraction, anchored by the Volcano Oil Field in the south and various pipelines traversing the ridges. The distribution of small settlements like Waverly, Eureka, and Horseneck reflects a historic reliance on river transport and valley agriculture, while the uplands are marked by landmarks such as Pumpkin Knob Sch and the Middle Ridge Ch. A significant portion of the riverfront and upland territory is preserved within the Wayne National Forest and the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge, illustrating the transition from 19th-century industrial use to modern conservation efforts along the banks of McElroys Run and Cow Creek.
