About this map

Big Darby Creek carves a winding path through this mid-century landscape where Franklin, Madison, and Pickaway counties meet. The area is defined by its small crossroads settlements and significant institutional landmarks, most notably the expansive grounds of the Orient State Institute near the town of Orient. Along the waterway, infrastructure like the McKinley Bridge and a Gaging Sta reflect the management of the local drainage system, which includes Hellbranch Run and Springwater Run.

Rural life is anchored by traditional community centers such as McKendree Ch and Green Hill Ch, alongside the Pleasant View High Sch near Pleasant Corners. The presence of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor provides a clear industrial contrast to the surrounding farmsteads and agricultural plots. This survey also documents smaller, concentrated locales like Wrightsville, Little Pennsylvania, and Derby, preserving the mid-1960s layout of this Central Ohio region.
