2019 Map of Gratiot

About this map

Gratiot sits at the intersection of the county lines for Licking and Muskingum, serving as a primary settlement point in this rural landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Kent Run and its tributaries, including Thompson Run and Painter Run, which carve through the hills of East-Central Ohio. This 2019 survey documents a region where transportation infrastructure like Porter Airport and the Hopewell National Rd overlays a much older pattern of small communities and family burial grounds. Notable local history landmarks include Mount Perry at the southern edge and the quiet settlement of Wesley. Several established cemeteries, such as the Old Presbyterian Cem and Poplar Fork Cem, are clearly marked, providing essential data for genealogists tracking long-established residents in the townships of Hopewell and Madison. The map also captures the local drainage patterns around Porter Lake and the structural crossing at Jacks Hollow Bridge.
