This full-color book of maps, one of Belt Publishing's 50 Maps Series, presents the capital and biggest city in Ohio like you've never seen it before. Columbus is a place perpetually in search of an identity. Once called a "cow town," it is now a sprawling metropolitan area and home to the behemoth Ohio State University. How can one best represent the city, in all its complications and contradictions? One way is through maps, as editor Brent Warren and cartographer Vicky Johnson-Dahl explore here. These fifty-plus maps show things that are inherently Columbus, from ComFest to the present and former locations of the city's iconic arches. But you will also find maps that offer surprising ways of looking at the city, whether charting immigrant populations, LGBTQ+ landmarks, or mass transit that was never actually built. Divided into four sections--Situating the City, Getting to Know the City, Getting Around, and People and Places--Columbus in 50 Maps will excite current, former, and future Columbusites as well as people with an interest in the region or creative urban cartography.
