2016 Map of Lykens

About this map

Lykens and the surrounding agricultural townships of Crawford and Seneca Counties are defined by a grid of rural roads and scattered small communities. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous small waterways, including Greasy Run, Mile Run, and the winding Sycamore Creek, which flow through a landscape of family farms and woodlots. The map reveals a high concentration of small burial grounds that mark the 19th-century settlement patterns of the region, such as Eden Cem, Seery Cem, and Texas Township Cem near the village of Benton. The rail-influenced layout of the area is evident near Lemert and Plankton, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the community of Broken Sword and the headwaters of Broken Sword Creek. This survey provides a precise look at the township boundaries and local roads like Marion-Melmore Rd and Knauss Rd as they appeared in 2016.
