1961 Map of Jersey

About this map

Pataskala and the surrounding agricultural townships of Licking County are captured here in a period of transition as suburban expansion begins to meet established rural crossroads. Located within the historic United States Military District, the landscape is defined by a dense network of family-named intersections such as Millers Corners, Tylers Corners, and Parkhurst Corners. The South Fork Licking River flows through the southern portion of the map near Columbia Center, while the Penn Central railroad corridor provides a heavy industrial artery through the terrain. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Universalist Ch and Harmony Ch to several small family and parish burial grounds, including St Joseph Cem, Burnside Cem, and Wickliff Cem. The map also records early 1970s infrastructure, including multiple Radio Towers and a prominent pipeline cutting across Jersey township.
