2013 Map of Jersey

About this map

Pataskala and the surrounding Licking County countryside reveal a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of pioneer-era burial grounds. The map documents several historic "Corners," including Millers Corners, Tylers Corners, and Panhandle Corners, which suggest the persistence of early crossroads communities. The S Fork Licking River and its tributaries, such as Muddy Fork and Raccoon Creek, carve through the terrain, influencing the placement of early homesteads and roads. For genealogists, the density of small cemeteries is remarkable, ranging from the Saint Joseph Cem in the north to Wickliff Cem and Swisher Cem further south. Modern development is most visible in the planned layout of Beechwood Trails, contrasting with the more dispersed rural character of places like Ash and Fursville.
