About this map

Johnstown serves as the central hub of this Licking County landscape, where the confluence of early transportation and agricultural life is preserved in the early 1960s. The village is flanked by several smaller rural communities such as Hartford Croton PO, Twelve Corners, and Concord. A legacy of pioneer settlement is visible in the network of country churches and burial grounds, including Harmony Ch, Concord Ch, and Green Hill Cemetery.

The physical environment is defined by the headwaters of the Licking River and its numerous tributaries like Raccoon Creek and Lobdell Creek. While much of the land remains agricultural, later 20th-century additions such as the Sewage Disposal and Country Club south of Johnstown indicate evolving municipal infrastructure. A remnant Railroad Grade passing through the northwestern corner suggests the decline of rail service that once connected these rural townships.
