NHP Columbus Ohio By blade2k5 1.0

Finally, a good Columbus OH map! It looks very nice.

oooh, Ohio is on a roll. Another Exellent Map! 11/10 :D

Thanks HoustonFan and residentsim. Glad you both like this map, the third attempt at it. The first two were disasters.

Good to see someone made a map of my home town-looks great! You forgot to mention in the description that Columbus is home to one of the best football teams in the country OSU! Someone just needs to design a horseshoe stadium now.

hey thats my home town XD 5/5

Actually blaza6925, I didn't forget, I chose not to because I have a differing opinion. What I did forget to mention is that guitar legend Mr. Slowhand Eric Clapton lives in Columbus Ohio.

I appreciate your delicacy in the matter. Good call on Eric Clapton.

In case anyone cares, the city was not always called Columbus. At one time, it was called Franklinton, because of the name of the county. Also Columbus was not the first capitol of Ohio. Chillicothe was. Like I said, in case anyone cares. Nice map though. Im also glad to see a Columbus map!!

Columbus was not formerly Franklinton. Franklinton was the original settlement in the area. Columbus was later settled because the land east of the Scioto River was not as prone to flooding, which made it an appropriate place for government works. Franklinton is still across the river from Downtown Columbus, although it is a shell of it's former self.

Thanks for the map, been wanting this one :) Franklinton is now known as the "Bottoms." It used to be so bad down there the police wouldn't patrol, its currently getting revitalized. Still going to be a flood plain no matter how many yuppies you crowd in there though lol.

not true, franklinton was its own town on the other side of the scioto river before columbus ever excisted. columbus was then built on the east side of the river...eventually columbus grew around franklinton after it became the capital and eventually franklinton was anexed into columbus. columbus was never called franklinton

Before Columbus there was Franklinton, Clintonville and numerous townships.
