About this map

The Olentangy River corridor defines this landscape, separating the growing settlements of Powell and Lewis Center as the suburbs of Columbus and Dublin expand northward. The map documents the dense residential street networks pushing into formerly rural land, though many historic markers remain, including several small family and community burial grounds such as Cole Cem and Williamsville Cem.

To the west, the Scioto River runs through the corner of the map, while numerous small tributaries like Bartholomew Run and Wild Cat Run carve through the terrain. The border between Delaware and Franklin Counties cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, marking a significant administrative divide during this period of rapid 21st-century development. Traditional landmarks like Fairview Memorial Park and the settlement of Hyatts provide continuity amidst the changing suburban landscape.
