About this map

Westerville and Gahanna frame this portrait of suburban and industrial development in northeast Franklin County. The landscape is defined by the corridors of Alum Creek and Big Walnut Creek, which run parallel to the intensifying road networks of the early 21st century. To the south, the massive footprint of the Port Columbus International Airport stands as a primary economic hub, while localized settlements like Huber Ridge, Minerva Park, and East Linden show the dense residential infill of the Columbus metropolitan area.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered historic burial grounds that predate the modern suburbs, including Otterbein Cem, Riverside Cem, and the McKendree Methodist Episcopal Cem. Educational and institutional landmarks such as Bohecker College-Columbus and the Oakland Park Sch are interspersed with older place names like Moores Corners and Parks Mills, tracing the evolution from rural milling sites to a modern commercial and residential interior.
