About this map

Columbus and its southern suburbs are depicted here during a period of significant urban density, showing the complex network of neighborhoods that define the state capital. The landscape is notably marked by an extensive concentration of historic burial grounds and institutional sites, including the Old Insane and Penal Cemetery, Feebleminded Cemetery, and the Camp Chase Cemetery near the city's heart. These landmarks, along with others like the Franklinton Cemetery, serve as poignant reminders of the city's 19th-century social history and early settlement patterns.

The Scioto River and Olentangy River converge in the northeast, regulated by several structures such as the Fifth Avenue Low Head Dam and the Rich Street Low Head Dam. Beyond the urban core, the map tracks the transition into residential and industrial zones like Urbancrest and Briggsdale, while the Montoneys Airport and numerous golf courses, such as Scioto Golf Course, illustrate the mid-century suburban expansion that shaped the modern Greater Columbus area.
