About this map

The village of Gambier and the historic campus of Kenyon College dominate the northeastern corner of this Knox County survey, situated above the winding Kokosing River. This area represents a well-established academic and residential hub where the Pennsylvania railroad line passes near the Port Kenyon Airport. Further south and west, the landscape transitions into a network of rural townships including Clinton, Pleasant, and Morgan, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts across the agricultural terrain.

Smaller settlements and rural gathering points like Hunt and Morgan Center are mapped alongside several denominational landmarks, such as Owl Creek Ch and Fairview Ch. The topography is defined by the drainage of Sycamore Creek and the North Fork Licking River, which flow through a region dotted with family-named cemeteries like NNA Cem and St Johns Cem, alongside early industrial elements like Oil Wells and Gravel Pits.
