1964 Map of Northeast Columbus

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Otterbein College serves as a prominent anchor in Westerville on this 1964 survey, which documents the rapid suburban transformation of northeast Columbus. The landscape is defined by the corridors of Alum Creek and Big Walnut Creek, where the newly constructed Interstate 71 and Interstate 270 begin to reshape former agricultural lands into residential tracts like Huber Ridge and Minerva Park. Smaller, older clusters such as Central College, Parks Mills, and Mifflinville appear alongside family-named sites like Otterbein Cem and Central Cem. This edition includes 1973 revisions shown in purple, highlighting the physical expansion of the city's reach toward the Hoover Reservoir. The Penn Central rail line still cuts through the terrain, providing a look at the infrastructure that preceded the highway-driven growth of the late twentieth century.
