About this map

Denison University and the community of Granville serve as the focal point of this Licking County landscape, where the academic grounds overlook a terrain shaped by Raccoon Creek. The village character is defined by its historic cemeteries, including Old Colony Cemetery and College Hill Cemetery, alongside prominent local elevations like Sugarloaf Hill and Parnassus Hill. To the west, the village of Alexandria and small crossroads like Scott Corners and Goddard Corners indicate a long-established rural settlement pattern.

Transportation routes such as Raccoon Valley Rd follow the natural contours of the valley, connecting early agricultural sites like Granville Orchard to the rail corridor at Union Station. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of the Welsh Hills Cemetery and the remote Devils Den Cemetery, providing a clear record of the area's burial sites and their relationship to family-named landmarks such as Mclains Bridge.
