1964 Map of Reynoldsburg

About this map

Whitehall and Reynoldsburg anchor this mid-1960s landscape, showing the rapid expansion of eastern Columbus following the post-war housing boom. The map illustrates a transition from established rural townships like Truro and Violet to suburban developments, marked by new school construction such as Rose More Sch and Licking Heights High Sch. Transportation is a defining theme, with the massive Port Columbus municipal airport at the northwestern edge and a dense network of transit including the Pennsylvania and Ohio and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. The area's older history remains visible through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Pisgah Cem, Powell Cem, and the expansive Forest Lawn Cemetery. Notable cultural landmarks such as the St Therese Shrine and Temple Israel stand alongside recreational spaces like Blacklick Woods Park, reflecting the diverse social fabric of these growing communities.
