1947 Map of Columbus
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Columbus and the surrounding central Ohio heartland are depicted here just after the war, showcasing a landscape defined by its major river systems and post-war aviation growth. The Scioto River and Hocking River serve as primary geographical anchors, while the remnants of the Ohio Canal and established rail corridors like the Pennsylvania RR and New York Central RR trace the region's industrial heritage. This era shows significant military installations, including the Lockbourne USAF Base south of the city and the Camp Sherman Military Reservation near Chillicothe.
