About this map

The Hocking River valley and the southeastern sprawl of Columbus define this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating a period of significant suburban expansion and industrial transition. To the east, the map reveals the complex terrain of the Wayne National Forest and the Perry County Reclamation Area, highlighting the intersection of natural preservation and historical resource extraction. Major transportation corridors including I-70 and Us 33 link established city centers like Lancaster and Zanesville with growing communities such as Reynoldsburg and Gahanna.

Military and aviation history is well-represented by the Port Columbus International Airport and the Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base. Significant recreational and cultural sites are also detailed, from the waters of Buckeye Lake and its namesake Buckeye Lake State Park to the archaeological importance of Flint Ridge State Memorial. Extensive rail networks operated by Conrail and the Norfolk and Western trace the historical movement of goods through the region's diverse topography.
