About this map

The rolling landscape of central Knox County is defined by the Kokosing River as it winds past the academic hilltop of Gambier. Home to the historic grounds of Kenyon College, this area shows a dense network of township roads and rural settlements like Hunt and Morgan Center. The map details a landscape where traditional agriculture meets educational expansion, anchored by the presence of Mount Vernon Nazarene University on the eastern edge of Mount Vernon.

Family history researchers will find a high concentration of small burial grounds scattered through the townships, including Owl Creek Cem and Saint Johns Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by various tributaries such as Delano Run and Sycamore Creek, while the southwestern corner reaches into the northern edge of the North Fork Licking River drainage. Modern developments like the Wynkoop Airport and expanding industrial areas near Mount Vernon contrast with the long-established country churches and cemeteries that mark the older crossroads.
