About this map

Big Darby Creek carves a winding path along the western edge of this landscape, forming a natural boundary between Franklin and Madison counties. This region west of Columbus shows a transition from the established suburban layout of Lincoln Village and the small municipality of New Rome to the more open fields of Galloway and Georgesville. Aviation history is prominent here, with three distinct facilities including Bolton Field, Darby Dan Airport, and Sky Ranch Airport clustered in the central and southern portions.

Local history researchers will find a high concentration of burial grounds, such as Clover Cem, Sunset Cem, and Postle Cem, which dot the corridor between the suburban expansion and the Battelle Darby Creek Park conservation lands. The map also captures the drainage patterns of the area through features like Hellbranch Run and Hamilton Ditch, which influenced the early settlement and agricultural development of these plains.
