1967 Map of Columbus

About this map

The Scioto River valley anchors this mid-century landscape, tracing a path through the state capital at Columbus down to Chillicothe. During this era, the region saw significant institutional and military expansion, evidenced by the sprawling grounds of Ohio State University and strategic installations like Lockbourne AFB and Clinton Co AFB. To the west, the London Correctional Institution stands near the headwaters of Darby Creek, while the eastern hills are heavily forested, containing vast tracts of the Wayne National Forest and Zaleski State Forest.
