2017 Map of Licking

About this map

Licking anchor the northern reaches of this Texas County landscape, where the street grid of Main St and Maple Ave gives way to the winding rural roads of the Missouri Ozarks. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, including Boone Creek and Bean Creek, which have carved out distinct named landforms such as Woodard Hollow and Wolf Hollow. Further south, the small settlement of Oscar sits near the headwaters of Bender Creek. Genealogical interest is found in local landmarks like Presser Cem and Mahan Cem, while the natural hydrography is highlighted by Ajee Spring and Mounty Spring. The map documents a landscape defined by its hollows and springs, illustrating how the physical geography has dictated the placement of roads like Old Salem Rd and Hartville Rd.
