About this map

Centerburg serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, situated where the headwaters of the Otter Fork Licking River begin their descent through the rolling terrain of southern Knox County. The map documents a predominantly agricultural landscape at the intersection of Columbus Rd and Croton Rd, characterized by a dense network of township roads and scattered rural settlements like Rich Hill and Mount Liberty. Several family and community burial sites, including Eastview Cem, Houck Cem, and Lineweaver Cem, provide valuable geographic markers for local genealogy research.

Water plays a defining role in the local geography, with the North Fork Licking River and tributaries such as Dry Cr and Ford Cr carving through the countryside. Near the village of Bloomfield, the terrain is marked by Reynolds Run and Long Run, illustrating the well-watered nature of the Licking River watershed. The presence of Willow Lake and Chapman Memorial Field indicates established recreation and community spaces within this long-settled farming region.
