2019 Map of Fredonia

About this map

Fredonia and Highwater anchor this Licking County landscape, where the headwaters of the Licking River system carve through the terrain. The drainage patterns of the Otter Fork, Lake Fork, and Clear Fork converge here, dictating the placement of early crossroads settlements like Decrow Corners, Barrick Corners, and Cokesbury Corners. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the exact locations of numerous small burying grounds, including the Old Fredonia Cemetery and the Moorehead Cemetery. The road network, comprising routes like Johnstown-Utica Road and Marion Road, follows the natural contours between creek valleys, connecting long-established rural hamlets such as Appleton and New Way that have defined the character of this agricultural region for generations.
