About this map

Canal Winchester and Lithopolis anchor this landscape southeast of Columbus, where the suburban growth of the early 21st century meets established Fairfield and Franklin County agricultural roots. The map documents numerous historic residential additions such as Lombardy Heights, Beckley Addition, and Winchester Park Addition, illustrating the post-war expansion of these small towns. Evidence of the region’s heritage is preserved in landmarks like the Bergstresser Covered Bridge and Loucks Covered Bridge over Walnut Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of burial sites across the township, ranging from the Mennonite Church Cemetery and Arlington Burial Park in the north to the Brick Cemetery and Marcy Cemetery near the southern boundary. Small rural hamlets like Greencastle, Waterloo, and Marcy are still distinct from the larger village centers, while geographic features like Chestnut Ridge and the Hocking River define the natural borders of these growing communities.
