About this map

Centerburg sits at the geographic heart of this Knox County region, where the North Fork Licking River begins its southeasterly course. The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, with numerous tributary runs like Reynolds Run and Long Run cutting through the agricultural plains. Significant local landmarks include the prominent elevation of Rich Hill and several small rural settlements such as Bloomfield and Mount Liberty. This area serves as a triple-county meeting point, where the borders of Knox, Licking, and Morrow counties converge.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the larger Eastview Cem and Centerburg Cem to smaller family-named plots like Houck Cem and Linneweaver Cem. The drainage patterns, including Otter Fork and Sycamore Creek, influenced the original road placement, resulting in the irregular network of township highways and county roads that still serve these farming communities today.
