Description: View of the Ohio River, described as being taken from the summit of Grave Creek Mound, which is along the West Virginia bank of the river in the city of Moundsville. The Ohio River is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers at modern-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It ends approximately 900 miles downstream at Cairo, Illinois, where it flows into the Mississippi River. It received its English name from the Iroquois word "O-Y-O," meaning "the great river."
