About this map

The Oil and Gas Field landscape of northeast Licking County is defined by its deep drainages and rural crossroads. Small settlements like Hickman and Purity are established near the valleys of Rocky Fork and Pleasant Valley Run, reflecting a nineteenth-century footprint that persisted into the mid-twentieth century. The map reveals a community-centered landscape with numerous landmarks for genealogists, including Burrell Chapel, Eden Ch, and several small burial grounds such as Miles Chapel Cem.

Recreational and educational sites are scattered throughout the wooded terrain, from Camp Wakatomika in the north to the Mary Ann Sch in the south. Distinctive geological features like Rain Rock and Falling Rock Camp highlight the area's physical character, while named local roads like Smokyroad and intersections such as Henpeck Corners provide specific points of interest for local history researchers and map collectors tracking the evolution of this part of Ohio.
