2013 Map of Galena

About this map

Alum Creek Lake and the Hoover Reservoir dominate this 2013 landscape north of Columbus, where expanding suburban footprints meet established rural settlements. The map documents the northern growth of Westerville, featuring prominent institutions like Otterbein College and the University of Phoenix-Columbus Ohio Campus. Historic traces of the area's earlier character remain visible in numerous family and local burying grounds, including McNamara Cemetery and Peachblow Cemetery. Transportation networks such as I-71 and Polaris Parkway illustrate the modern connectivity of the region, while the presence of Grover Airport and smaller communities like Africa and Cheshire highlights a transition from open country to residential development. The alignment of Little Walnut Creek and various ponds further defines the local drainage patterns between these significant water reservoirs.
