About this map

The Scioto River anchors this detailed survey of the southwestern reaches of the Ohio capital, showing the dense intersection of urban growth and historical institutional sites. The map documents a significant concentration of specialized cemeteries and facilities, including the Old Insane and Penal Cem, Feebleminded Cem, and the historically significant Camp Chase Cem. These sites reflect the area's long-standing role in housing state institutions and military history.

Residential neighborhoods like San Margherita, Lincoln Village, and Urbancrest appear alongside major civic landmarks such as Cooper Stadium and the southern portion of the Ohio State University-Main Campus. The landscape is defined by the corridors of the Scioto Big Run and Marsh Run, which weave through the expanding suburban developments of Grove City and Briggsdale, providing a clear view of the city's twentieth-century outward expansion.
