1961 Map of Homer

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The North Fork Licking River and Otter Fk converge near Homer, anchoring a landscape that bridges Knox and Licking Counties. This mid-century survey reveals a rural Ohio geography organized around agricultural townships like Liberty and Milford, where small settlements such as Bangs and Brandon are connected by the Penn Central rail line. The map is particularly dense with small family and municipal burial grounds, including the Hyatt Cem, Bird Cem, and County Cem, providing significant spatial data for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads. Transportation infrastructure ranges from the traditional, like the multiple crossings of Dry Creek, to mid-century aviation markers such as the Wynkoop Airport and a dedicated Landing Strip. The presence of several trailer parks and a substation near Dry Run points to the gradual infrastructure modernization occurring in the post-war era.
