About this map

The confluence of the Driftwood River and the Flatrock River forms the East Fork White River here, anchoring the development of Columbus and its surrounding communities. This 2016 survey documents the extensive residential and commercial expansion of the area, from the established neighborhoods of North Columbus and East Columbus to newer developments like Riverview Acres and Everroad Park. The landscape is a mix of dense urban grids and the winding courses of Haw Creek and Clifty Creek, which have influenced the city's modern layout and park system.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites, including the large Columbus City Cem and Garland Brook Cem, alongside smaller family plots like Thompson Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem. Educational and aviation history is noted through the presence of Indiana Business College-Columbus and the Strietelmeier Flying Field. Further south, the transition from city to industrial and rural use is marked by Garden City, Bethel Village, and Walesboro, providing a clear record of Bartholomew County's contemporary infrastructure.
