1961 Map of Hanover

About this map

The Licking River carves a significant path through this portion of Licking County, where the construction of the Dillon Lake reservoir has altered the local geography. The map captures the infrastructure of the mid-20th century, specifically the transition of rail dominance as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Penn Central lines converge near the settlement of Hanover. To the east, the dramatic topography of the Licking Gorge provides a sharp contrast to the developed corridors near Newark and Marne.
