2019 Map of New Albany

About this map

New Albany and the eastern suburbs of Columbus define this 2019 landscape, where suburban expansion meets the historic creek valleys of Franklin Co and Licking Co. The terrain is shaped by the drainage networks of Blacklick Cr and Rocky Fork Cr, which historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and roads. The area retains significant genealogical landmarks through its numerous burial grounds, including the Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem and Burnside Cem. Evidence of older rural clusters persists at Havens Corners, even as modern residential developments fill the spaces between the traditional township lines. This map documents a period of rapid change, where former agricultural lands and ditches like Bevelheimer Ditch now neighbor dense neighborhood grids and modern parkways.
