2010 Map of Galena

About this map

Westerville and its northward expansion anchor this 2010 study of Delaware County, where the suburban landscape meets significant water management projects. The map details the proximity of the Hoover Reservoir and Williams Lake, illustrating the impact of the Alum Creek Lake Dam and the Westerville Reservoir Dam on the local topography. Residential development is interspersed with historic sites, including the settlements of Africa, Cheshire, and Galena. Researchers will find numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as the McNamara Cemetery, Peachblow Cemetery, and the Tussig Road Cemetery, which offer valuable data points for genealogical study. The transition from agricultural land to suburban residential tracts is evident in the dense network of local roads like Polaris Pkwy and S Old State Rd, which connect these established communities with newer infrastructure like the Westerville Water Works.
