1955 Map of Southeast Columbus

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Columbus serves as a dense educational and religious hub in the mid-1950s, with a concentration of parochial schools and institutions like St Joseph Academy and St Mary of the Springs College. The city's eastern expansion is clearly marked by the incorporated enclaves of Bexley and Whitehall, while the surrounding landscape transitions into the industrial and transit corridors of Steelton and Valley Crossing. A complex network of railroads, including the Pennsylvania and Chesapeake and Ohio, facilitates movement through the Alum Creek valley, connecting the urban core to rural junctions.
