With the Omicron variant running rampant, Columbus schools are facing significant absences from both students and staff. Keep track of this data with this hand link, which ranks the best and worst schools for absences, shows how many cases are being reported, quarantine data and more.
This link is a great resource to find old local maps for cities, counties and states from the US to around the world. For Columbus, maps go back to the 1920s, but other locations have even older versions. The maps are helpful for those doing research on this history of their cities.
Another favorite link is the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps. These maps are even more detailed and you can view individual buildings down to the street level back to the 19th Century. These maps are available at the Library of Congress and require a bit more searching to find what you’re looking for.
