About this map

Gratiot and Mount Sterling sit atop the high ground of the Flint Ridge region, where the historical National Rd follows the winding path of modern W Pike. This 2013 topographic study highlights a landscape defined by its rural heritage, crossing the boundaries of Licking, Muskingum, and Perry counties. The settlement pattern remains largely anchored by small crossroads and family cemeteries, such as the Poplar Fork Cem and the Old Presbyterian Cem.

Waterways like Kent Run and Jonathan Cr carve through the terrain, while infrastructure like the Porter Airport and the Jacks Hollow Bridge indicate the evolving transportation needs of the area. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of church-affiliated burial grounds, including the Mt Olive Lutheran Cem and Mt Perry Cem, which serve as lasting markers of the communities established around Mount Perry and Wesley.
