About this map

The urban expansion of Columbus and its eastern suburbs of Bexley and Whitehall dominates this mid-1960s study, revised in the early 1980s. The landscape is a mix of dense residential grids and heavy infrastructure, including the Fort Hayes Mil Res and the sprawling Defense Construction Supply Center. Significant institutional presence is marked by sites like the Governors Mansion, St Vincents Orphanage, and St Mary of the Springs College.

To the south, the terrain opens toward Hamilton Twp, where industrial and transit hubs like Valley Crossing and the South Columbus Airport sit near Alum Creek. Genealogists will find a concentration of religious landmarks and burial grounds, including Agudas Achim Cem, Tifereth Israel Cem, and Evergreen Burial Park. Historical continuity is visible in the ancient Indian Mounds preserved near Obetz, contrasting with modern developments like the Eastland Shopping Center.
