1962 Map of Columbus
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Columbus serves as the focal point for this expansive regional study, where the industrial and transport networks of central and southern Ohio converge. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by significant river valleys, notably the Scioto River, Muskingum River, and Hocking River, which historically dictated the placement of major settlements like Chillicothe, Zanesville, and Athens. The era is defined by a robust railroad infrastructure, with lines from the Pennsylvania RR and Baltimore & Ohio RR lacing through the terrain, connecting agricultural hubs like Washington Court House and Wilmington to the growing capital.
