2023 Map of Hickman

About this map

Hickman and the rural townships of eastern Licking County are defined by a network of creeks and runs that cut through the undulating Pleasant Valley landscape. At the southern end of the sheet, the settlement of Wilkins Run sits near its eponymous waterway, while the northern reaches transition into the Knox Co borderlands. The area's social history is anchored by modest community sites like Eden Church and Melita Fellowship Church, alongside several family-named burial grounds such as Souslin Cem and Barnes Cem. The persistence of these small-scale landmarks, from the Smith Chapel in the east to the Flyers Park Airport near Hickman, illustrates a stable agrarian pattern that has survived into the contemporary era. This landscape remains primarily accessible through a grid of township and county roads, including the long stretches of Martinsburg Rd and Rocky Fork Rd.
