About this map

The Scioto River and Olentangy River corridors define the development of this northern Columbus landscape, where established suburbs meet institutional anchors. To the west, Dublin and Hilliard surround the Griggs Reservoir, while the central portion is dominated by the Ohio State University Airport and the Brookside Country Club Lake. The mapping reveals a high density of historical cemeteries, including Wesley Chapel Cem and Dublin Cem, which provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking early families in Franklin County.

Industrial and academic sites are prominent throughout, from the Pontifical Coll Josephinum in the north to the Ohio State University Golf Course Lake in Upper Arlington. Unique topographical features like Walhalla Hollow and Glen Echo Hollow break the grid in the east, highlighting the deeply carved ravines that characterize the Olentangy watershed. This survey provides a clear view of the transportation network including Norfolk Southern rail lines and the Fishinger Bridge crossing.
