About this map

The New York Central railroad cuts a diagonal path through this Licking County landscape, anchoring the village of Johnstown at its center. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a rural Ohio community defined by its sprawling creek networks and scattered agricultural hamlets. To the north, Hartford Croton PO serves as a local hub near the confluence of Otter Fork and the Licking River.

Genealogists can trace family history through several well-marked landmarks, including the Green Hill Cemetery and the uniquely named Twelve Corners Cem near Duncan Run. The religious life of the era is preserved through rural sanctuaries like Concord Ch, Miller Ch, and Harmony Ch. The terrain is drained by many small waterways such as Raccoon Creek and Lobdell Creek, which feed into larger systems, while recreation is noted at Beaver Lake and the local Country Club.
