2013 Map of Lockbourne

About this map

Rickenbacker International Airport anchors this landscape south of Columbus, where the urban expansion of Obetz and Groveport meets the agricultural plains of the Franklin and Pickaway County line. The terrain is defined by the converging courses of Alum Creek, Big Walnut Creek, and Walnut Creek, which carve through the till plains toward the Scioto River. Smaller settlements like Lockbourne, Reese, and Duvall maintain their distinct footprints amidst a network of modern infrastructure including Rickenbacker Pkwy E and the I-270 corridor. For genealogists, the map preserves several rural burial grounds such as Watkins Cem, Rarey Cem, and Hopewell Cem, which mark the earlier homesteads and family farms that preceded the industrial and aviation development of the late 20th century.
