2013 Map of Powell

About this map

The Olentangy River corridor defines the geography of this northern Columbus suburban area, cutting a deep path through southern Delaware County. To the west, the Scioto River is captured by the O'Shaughnessy Reservoir, creating a distinct hydrological boundary for the village of Powell. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense residential growth patterns between historical settlements like Lewis Center and Dublin, while still noting numerous small family and community burial sites that predate the modern developments. Genealogists can find several small grounds such as Thomas Cem, Liberty Cem, and the uniquely named Leatherlips Cem. The map also captures the intricate network of creeks and runs, including Deep Run and Bartholomew Run, that drain into the major river valleys, shaping the local topography and the orientation of modern thoroughfares like Home Rd and Jewett Rd.
