1925 Map of East Columbus

About this map

Columbus and its eastern suburbs are captured here at a moment of significant transit-oriented expansion during the 1920s. The landscape is defined by the converging paths of the Scioto River and Big Walnut Creek, where riverfront development like Steelton and agricultural hubs such as Canal Winchester and Groveport thrived. The map reveals an intricate infrastructure of early aviation and industry, including Norton Field and the expansive U S Army Supply Depot.
