2016 Map of Hickman

About this map

The Rocky Fork and its various tributaries, including the E Br Rocky Fork, define the topography of this Licking County landscape. Small rural hubs such as Hickman and Purity are connected by a dense network of township and county roads, including the historical corridor of Martinsburg Rd crossing the Knox County line. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial grounds like Souslin Cem, Rocky Fork Cem, and the Barnes Cem near Wilkins Run. Notable landmarks like the Boy Scout Memorial Bridge across the fork and the small waters of Lake Otto suggest a landscape used for both agriculture and local recreation. In the southeastern corner, the settlement of Reform sits near the headwaters of Painter Run, illustrating the persistent small-town settlement patterns that have remained in this part of Ohio into the twenty-first century.
