1995 Map of Northwest Columbus

About this map

Columbus and its northern suburbs are defined by the parallel paths of the Scioto River and Olentangy River during this mid-1990s period of suburban density. The map illustrates a complex landscape of institutional and recreational land use, featuring the sprawling campus of Ohio State University at the southern edge and the specialized facilities of the State School for the Deaf and the State School for the Blind to the north. Transportation and public works infrastructure is prominent, from the Ohio State University Airport and RR Museum to the expansive Griggs Reservoir along the western boundary. The survey also captures the distinct boundaries of established communities like Worthington, Upper Arlington, and the village of Riverlea, alongside historical landmarks such as the Union Cemetery and the Ohio National Guard Armory.
