About this map

Canal Winchester and Lithopolis anchor this detailed study of the suburban and agricultural landscape southeast of Columbus. The area is characterized by a dense network of historical cemeteries and small rural settlements, including Greencastle, Marcy, and Slough. These sites, often situated near watercourses like Walnut Creek and Big Run, trace the early residential and religious development of Franklin Co and Fairfield Co.

The presence of the Mennonite Church and the distinctive Glick Brick Church near Hoy Cem highlights the deep-rooted community history of the region. To the east, the rising elevation of Chestnut Ridge provides a topographical contrast to the plains of the Hocking River basin. Modern infrastructure, such as the Se Expy and Winchester Pike, intersects with established landmarks like Arlington Burial Park and Union Grove Cem, illustrating the evolution from late 19th-century farmsteads to the expanding residential districts of Pickerington.
