About this map

Galloway and Georgesville anchor the southwestern suburbs of Columbus in this 2013 survey, where residential development meets the agricultural Darby Plains. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Darby Creek and its tributary, Little Darby Creek, which together form the natural boundary between Madison and Franklin Counties. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Sunset Cem, Postle Cem, and Oak Grove Cem, are preserved amidst expanding housing tracts and industrial zones.

Aviation infrastructure is prominent in the region, with Bolton Field Airport and Columbus Southwest Airport serving the area south of West Broad Street. To the east, the map captures the transition into more densely populated neighborhoods like Lincoln Village and the community of Rome. The drainage of these flatlands relies on man-made features such as Hamilton Ditch and natural waterways like Hellbranch Run, which weave through the suburban grid.
