Located in west central Franklin County, the township consists of many small "islands" separated from each other by municipal annexations.

With few exceptions, these islands are completely surrounded by the city of Columbus.

Some southern islands border Jackson Township, while a large island in the west borders Prairie Township.

Other parts are now incorporated into the city of Grandview Heights in the northwest, the village of Marble Cliff in the north, and the village of Valleyview in the south.

[6] The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1.
