1890 Photo of Ohio River

The Ohio River, as seen during a dry spell in the 1890s. The picture is an upriver view from the top of the hill (Seven Hills Farm) opposite Huntington, WV, across from the former 26th Street ferry landing. Five-stone training dikes show prominently.
The two nearer at hand were built about three feet high so that the river stage may be taken at about two feet. Overlooking the river in the distance, left of center, is Proctorville, Ohio.
