About this map

The Scioto River snakes through the heart of Franklin County, defining a mid-century landscape of heavy industry, state institutions, and expanding neighborhoods. The urban core of Columbus is marked by significant landmarks like the Ohio State Penitentiary and the expansive grounds of the Columbus State Hospital. To the south and west, the map captures the transition from dense city wards to suburbanizing areas such as Grandview Heights and Upper Arlington.
