1955 Map of New Albany
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
New Albany and the rural townships of Plain and Jefferson appear here in the mid-1950s, characterized by a grid of farm roads and scattered country institutions. The map captures a landscape in transition as postwar development begins to reach beyond Gahanna and into the northeastern outskirts of the capital region. The eastern edge of the newly established Hoover Reservoir dominates the northwest corner, illustrating the large-scale infrastructure projects of the era. Settlement patterns follow the creek valleys, with clusters of family history found at St Paul Ch, Jersey Chapel, and several local burial grounds including Burnside Cem and Maplewood Cem. Significant wooded tracts remain at Blendon Woods Park, while the local economy is represented by Gravel Pits and traditional community centers like the Township Sch.
