About this map

The Otter Fork Licking River and Lake Fork Licking River converge in this agricultural landscape of Licking County, where small crossroads settlements define the social geography of the mid-20th century. Named corners such as Pattersons Corners, Deerow Corners, and Gosnell Corners indicate a long-standing network of family-owned farmsteads and rural junctions. This rural character is reinforced by several community pillars, including the Bennington Chapel and Liberty Ch, alongside historical burial grounds like Appleton Cem and Hancock Cem.

The village of Fredonia sits in the southeast, serving as a local hub with its own Fredonia Cemetery and the McKean School nearby. The presence of a Fish Hatchery and a Radio Tower near New Way reflect the early development of modern utility and resource management in the area. The landscape is predominantly shaped by the drainage patterns of Sugar Creek and Clear Fork Licking River, which carve through the townships of Burlington, Bennington, Liberty, and McKean.
