About this map

The Scioto River and Olentangy River define this portion of the northern Columbus suburbs, tracing a landscape shaped by glacial watercourses and rapid residential development. This 2023 survey documents the densely integrated borders of Worthington, Dublin, Hilliard, and Upper Arlington, where established neighborhoods meet significant institutional landmarks. Among these are the extensive grounds of the Ohio State University Airport and the Pontifical College Josephinum, while the Ohio State University Main Campus is visible at the southeastern edge.

Genealogists will find a clear record of local heritage through numerous burial sites, ranging from the Wesley Chapel Cem to the Saint Johns Cem and Indian Run Cem. The map also captures the intricate network of local drainage and creek systems, such as Hayden Run and Bill Moose Run, that once dictated early farm boundaries before the modern expansion of Columbus. Infrastructure, including the CSX Transportation rail line and major thoroughfares like Bethel RD, illustrate the connectivity of these central Ohio communities.
