2019 Map of Southwest Columbus

About this map

Columbus and its southern suburbs appear in high detail at the junction of the Scioto River and Olentangy River. The urban core is anchored by civic institutions like the Supreme Court of Ohio and the Franklin County Courthouse, with connectivity established by historic crossings including the Broad Street Bridge and Main Street Bridge. Beyond the city center, the landscape is defined by its institutional history and commemorative spaces, ranging from the sprawling Greenlawn Cem and Mount Calvary Cem to the unique site of the Camp Chase Confederate Cem. The map illustrates the growth of established communities like Grove City and Upper Arlington, while smaller settlements such as San Margherita and Briggsdale occupy the space between major transit corridors like the Harrisburg Pike. Several institutional burial grounds, including the Old Insane and Penal Cem and Feebleminded Cem, reflect the complex social history of the state capital's fringe during the 20th century.
