2016 Map of Homer

About this map

Homer sits at the southern edge of this terrain, where the North Fork Licking River and Goose Run converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and small settlements like Brandon, Lock, and Bangs, which maintain their character alongside larger infrastructure such as the Knox County Airport. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family and community burial grounds, ranging from the central Miller Cem and Bird Cem to the Simmons Cem near the Licking County line. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Sycamore Cr, Vance Cr, and Dry Cr cutting through the fields, illustrating the persistent agricultural and rural residential layout of central Ohio in the early 21st century.
