1966 Map of Galloway

About this map

Big Darby Creek and Little Darby Creek define the western reaches of this landscape, carving through the townships of Jefferson and Pleasant. By the mid-1960s, the rural character of western Franklin County was meeting the outward expansion of Columbus, visible in the burgeoning residential grids around New Rome and the Medical Center. This era captures a transition in local aviation and infrastructure, featuring the Columbus Airpark and Bolton Airport alongside the established Penn Central rail lines. Local life centers on community landmarks such as Stiles Sch and Alton-Hall Sch, while several historic burying grounds, including Alton Cem and Ebenezer Cem, offer key points of interest for genealogists tracking early families near the settlements of Alton and Galloway.
