2019 Map of Hanover

About this map

The Licking River corridor east of Newark serves as the primary axis of this 2019 survey, where the waterway carves through the notable Licking Gorge. Small settlements such as Hanover, Marne, and Claylick are situated along the valley floor and lower slopes, connected by a network of historic routes including Licking Valley Rd. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Coshocton Hill, Bucks Knob, and Coffman Knob, which rise above the drainages of Bowling Green Run and Claylick Cr. Genealogists and local historians will find several well-placed burial grounds throughout the townships, including Spring Grove Cem, Pleasant Chapel Cem, and Oakhill Cem. This map illustrates the modern footprint of Licking County as it balances its river-bottom agricultural roots with the expansion of the Heath and Newark urban fringes.
