2023 Map of Gratiot

About this map

Gratiot and Brownsville sit as key points along the historic transportation corridor of the National Rd SE, a route that defined much of the early settlement pattern in this part of Licking and Muskingum counties. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of Flint Ridge in the north toward the drainage basins of Jonathan Creek and Kent Run in the south. This area is rich with genealogical sites, including several historic burial grounds such as the Old Presbyterian Cem and Lutheran Cem. Small settlements like Wesley and Mount Perry dot the crossroads, while the presence of Porter Airport and Porter Lake near Hopewell indicates more modern land uses. The map clearly delineates the tri-county intersection of Licking, Muskingum, and Perry counties, showing how early township lines like t18n r15w continue to organize the rural property and road networks.
