1961 Map of Hanover

About this map

The Licking River winds through the heart of Licking County, defining a landscape marked by the deep Licking Gorge and a concentrated corridor of infrastructure. In this mid-century period, the parallel routes of the Penn Central and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads facilitate movement through the river valley, connecting the settlements of Hanover, Marne, and Claylick. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive high points like Bald Knob, Bucks Knob, and Coffman Knob, while the surrounding hillsides are dotted with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells, indicating the region's active energy extraction.
