Lockbourne Air Force Base dominates the central landscape of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in southern Franklin County during the Cold War era. The surrounding territory reveals a transition from traditional agricultural life to post-war suburbanization, evidenced by the development of Hamilton Meadows and the expansion of Obetz and Groveport. The convergence of Alum Creek, Big Walnut Creek, and Walnut Creek underscores the importance of the river valleys for both transport and industry, with several Gravel Pits and a Sandpit active along the water's edge.
