About this map

Flint Ridge dominates the northern terrain of this Central Ohio landscape, where the borders of Licking, Muskingum, and Perry Counties converge. The village of Gratiot serves as a focal point along the historic U S 40 corridor, positioned just north of the more modern Interstate 70. This map illustrates a transition from the agricultural and residential patterns of Hopewell and Mt Sterling to the industrial activity of several Strip Mines located near the eastern edge.

Waterways like Kent Run, Jonathan Creek, and Poverty Run carve through the hills, the latter feeding into Dillon Lake at the northeastern corner. Local history is preserved in the location of the Poplar Fork Cem and the Mt Olive Ch Cem, while the North Bdy Refuge Lands indicate significant managed natural areas. The arrangement of schools and churches, such as the Hopewell Sch and Macedonia Ch, reflects the established community structure of the late 20th century.
