About this map

Jersey sits at the heart of this Licking County landscape, where the South Fork Licking River and its numerous tributaries like Muddy Fork and Blacklick Creek carve through the terrain. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community organized around traditional crossroads, evidenced by named junctions such as Millers Corners, Hazelton Corners, and Tylers Corners. These points of interest, along with local landmarks like the Lynd Fruit Farm and Kearns Airport, reflect an area defined by long-standing agricultural and local commerce patterns.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many scattered burial grounds, including Saint Joseph Cemetery, Burnside Cemetery, and the Jersey Presbyterian Cemetery. The presence of several hollows, such as Big Hollow and Coon Hollow, alongside Beavers Hill, illustrates the varied relief of the township as it appeared in the early 21st century. Infrastructure like the Gardner Pond Dam and the residential development at Beechwood Trails shows the evolution of the land from its earlier farmstead roots.
