1965 Map of Northwest Columbus

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Scioto River and Olentangy River corridors anchor this 1965 portrait of the northern Columbus suburbs. The landscape is defined by institutional expansion and post-war residential growth, particularly in Worthington and Upper Arlington. Of particular note is the extensive specialized education and research footprint, including the State School for the Blind, the State School for the Deaf, and the Don Scott Field airfield. The transition from rural to suburban is evident in the lingering presence of quarries near Dublin and the prominent Griggs Reservoir. This map serves as an essential record for tracing mid-century property development, the location of local institutions like Josephinum College, and established burial grounds such as Union Cemetery and Walnut Grove Cem.
