2023 Map of Galena

About this map

Westerville and the expanding northern suburbs of Columbus anchor this 2023 survey of Delaware County. The landscape is defined by the significant hydrological footprint of Williams Lake and Hoover Reservoir, which flank the central corridor of Alum Creek. The suburban development is juxtaposed with older local landmarks, including Otterbein University and several historic burial grounds such as Olde Methodist Cem and Africa Cem. Small settlements like Galena, Cheshire, and Africa provide a glimpse into the area's rural foundations before the modern residential expansion. The map also traces the county line between Delaware Co and Franklin Co, showing the density of new housing developments through an intricate network of streets such as Whispering Pines Rd and Alum Crossing Dr.
