1954 Map of Northeast Columbus

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Otterbein College and the surrounding academic landscape of Westerville dominate the northern portion of this 1954 mid-century survey. The terrain is defined by the parallel courses of Alum Creek and Big Walnut Creek, with the newly completed Hoover Dam and Hoover Reservoir appearing in the northeast corner. This era shows the suburban expansion of Columbus pushing north through Linden and Mifflinville, where residential grids began to replace agricultural fields and golf courses like Minerva Lake Golf Club. Local history and genealogy interest is found in the numerous neighborhood schools and religious sites, such as St James the Less Sch and St Augustine Sch, alongside established rural landmarks like the State Home for the Aged near Central College.
