1923 Map of West Columbus

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Scioto River and Big Darby Creek carve parallel courses through this 1920s landscape, framing the westward expansion of Columbus and its surrounding townships. Large institutional grounds dominate the urban fringe, including the massive State Hospital, the Institute for Feebleminded, and the sprawling Greenlawn Cemetery near the river bend. The transit network of the era is remarkably dense, showing the Pennsylvania RR and the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago and St Louis Ry intersecting with the historic National Road. Local history is preserved in rural cornerstones such as Pisgah School, the Miller School, and the Barbee School. Beyond the city, small crossroads like Galloway, Pleasant Corners, and Urbancrest appear as distinct agricultural and residential hubs before later suburban infill reached these townships.
