2010 Map of Hickman

About this map

Rocky Fork and its various branches, including the East Branch Rocky Fork, define the drainage and settlement patterns across this Licking County landscape. Small rural communities like Hickman and Purity are centers for local activity, surrounded by a network of winding roads such as Purity Rd and Baker Rd. The area is notably dense with organized outdoor spaces, featuring Camp Ohio, Falling Rock Camp, and Camp Wakatomika, which suggest a long-standing tradition of youth and community recreation in the wooded valleys. Family and community heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Eden Church Cemetery, Souslin Cemetery, and Miles Chapel Cemetery. To the south, Wilkins Run sits near the confluence of several small streams like Smokyrow Run, highlighting the intricate hydrology that shaped early local homesteads and travel routes.
