Franklin County Engineer

As a local public works agency headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the Franklin County Engineer's Office is responsible for the maintenance and construction of 271 miles of county roadway and 351 county bridges, as well as upkeep of all county ditches, drains, retention basins, and other storm water facilities within the right-of-way of county roads in unincorporated areas. To meet the continuing development and infrastructure needs of Franklin County, the Engineer's Office utilizes the latest technologies for determining and maintaining roadway centerlines and boundaries; retracing and setting new monuments for original public land surveys; preparing geographic information system mapping for real estate tax assessments; and establishing precise countywide horizontal and vertical control to maintain uniformity in construction, surveying, and mapping.

The roads, bridges, and infrastructure we rely on every day were built by generations of skilled workers, many whose names never appeared on blueprints or signs. This Black History Month, we acknowledge the contributions of engineers, laborers, surveyors, and maintenance crews whose work helped shape America’s transportation system and strengthen our communities.

The Franklin County Road Map can be obtained, free of charge, through the Engineer’s Offices and at various county, municipal, township, and state facilities. Our Surveying Department has gathered information from numerous public entities such as the Franklin County Auditor’s Office, Metro Parks, Ohio Department of Transportation, and City of Columbus to create the most accurate and comprehensive road map. About 1,250 changes were made to our land and highway record data base since the publication of the 2009 edition.

The five-color 44-inch wide and 37-inch tall road map shows over 12,000 public roads, which are listed in the street locator index, and the locations of 1,000 points of interest such as airports, fire departments, government buildings, high schools, hospitals, police departments, post offices, shopping centers, and universities. Also shown are regional street address numbers that are useful in locating specific addresses.

For more information about the road map, or to suggest revisions, please contact Ben McCown, GIS Manager.
