2013 Map of Columbus

About this map

The Driftwood River and Flatrock River converge in this central Indiana landscape, forming the headwaters of the E Fork White River. The map detailing this early 21st-century period shows the expanding footprint of Columbus, reaching from the established neighborhoods of North Columbus and East Columbus to newer residential clusters like Riverview Acres. To the west, the Strietelmeier Flying Field Airport and several lakes, including Terrace Lake and Crystal Lake, highlight the varied land use between the river bottoms and the growing suburbs. Further south, smaller communities like Garden City, Bethel Village, and Walesboro maintain their distinct identities along the highway corridors. The intricate network of drainage ditches and creeks, such as Denios Cr and Armuth Ditch, reveals the hydrological management required for this flat, fertile river valley.
