About this map

Alum Creek and Big Walnut Creek carve through the urbanized landscape of eastern Franklin County, anchoring a region where academic institutions and international transport meet historic neighborhoods. Higher education is a dominant theme, with the campuses of Ohio Dominican Univ, Capital Univ, and Franklin Univ established alongside the residential blocks of Bexley and Whitehall. The industrial and logistics legacy of the area is visible in the vast grounds of the Port Columbus International Airport and the Norfolk Southern rail lines that serve the southern reaches near Steelton and Bannon.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of memorial sites, including the Agudas Achim Cem, Tifereth Israel Cem, and Beth Jacob Cem clustered together. The transition from the dense street grids of Columbus to the more open spaces of Obetz and Groveport illustrates the outward expansion of the city into the surrounding plains. Local landmarks like the Archie Griffin Stadium and the South Drive-In represent the cultural and recreational layers of the mid-to-late 20th-century development pattern.
