About this map

The eastern urban corridors of Columbus and Bexley define this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating a period of significant municipal expansion and infrastructure development. The sheet highlights the convergence of the Pennsylvania, Norfolk and Western, and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads, which once drove the industrial character of the region. Notable institutional sites such as the Fort Hayes Mil Res and the expansive Dept of Defense Supply Center sit alongside neighborhood landmarks like the St Josephs Academy & Ch.

Beyond the dense residential grids, the terrain transitions to more open land along the Alum Creek and Big Walnut Creek corridors. Genealogy and local history researchers can identify vanished or changed landscape markers like Munks Corners and Valley Crossing, as well as numerous religious sites including the Agudas Achim Cem and Tifereth Israel Cem. The map also captures the early footprint of the Port Columbus International Airport before its late-century modernizations.
