About this map

Glenford and Brownsville anchor this 1961 survey of the Licking and Perry county borderlands, where the landscape is defined by the rolling terrain of Flint Ridge and notable elevations like Buzzard Glory Knob. The transition from the rural uplands to the valley floor is traced by several watercourses, including Jonathan Creek and Claylick Creek, which shaped the settlement patterns of early hamlets such as Linnville and Yost.

Evidence of the region's long human history is preserved in the Indian Mound near the northern boundary, while the mid-century industrial footprint is visible through numerous Oil Wells scattered across the hills. Local social centers, such as Goodhope Ch and Franklin Sch, appear alongside the established routes of the B & O R R and Penn Central railroads, illustrating a community built on both agriculture and resource extraction during this era.
