2016 Map of Galloway

About this map

Big Darby Creek and its tributary, Little Darby Creek, carve a significant natural corridor through the western reaches of Franklin and Madison counties. This landscape captures the transition from the growing urban periphery of Columbus and Hilliard to the more open township lands near Georgesville. The sheet is notably dense with small historic burial grounds, including the Galloway Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and the Saint James Lutheran Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in this part of Ohio. Transport and aviation play a central role in the area's layout, with Interstate 70 and West Broad Street cutting east-west while several landing strips, such as Bolton Field and the Darby Dan Airport, dot the terrain. Large conservation efforts are evident in the south, anchored by the expansive Battelle Darby Creek Park which preserves the riparian environment of the creek.
