2023 Map of Millersport

About this map

Buckeye Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the waters surround several named landmasses including Liebs Island, Castle Island, and Keller Island. The settlement pattern follows the historic National Rd, which carries through the villages of Kirkersville and Luray, reflecting the area's long-standing role as a transportation corridor between Columbus and Newark. Near the lake, the communities of Millersport and East Millersport are defined by a network of canals and channels, including the prominent feature known as Deep Cut. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial sites such as Kirkersville Cem, Fletcher Chapel Cem, and the Refugee Baptist Smith Cem. The terrain is characterized by the drainage of the South Fork Licking River and its tributaries, Beaver Run and Bloody Run, which intersect a largely agricultural and residential countryside.
