2013 Map of Homer

About this map

Homer sits at the southern edge of the Knox and Licking county line, where the North Fork Licking River winds through agricultural bottomlands. The landscape is dotted with small rural crossroads and historical hamlets such as Milfordton, Brandon, and Lock. This era reveals a transition in land use, where traditional farming homesteads identified by family-named cemeteries like Bird Cem and Hall Cem coexist with local aviation hubs like Knox County Airport and Wynkoop Airport. The northern portion of the map is defined by a dense network of country roads including Columbus RD and Granville RD, which connect these smaller settlements. Tributaries like Sycamore Cr and Dry Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the placement of roads and farmsteads for generations.
