About this map

Buckeye Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the southeastern portion of this 1961 survey, revealing a landscape shaped by early nineteenth-century engineering. The remnants of the Ohio Canal (Aband) are clearly visible, including the Reservoir Feeder that once supplied the canal system. The town of Millersport sits at the water's edge, surrounded by island landmarks like Castle Island and Liebs Island within Buckeye State Lake Park.

Further north, the rural character of the Licking County countryside is defined by linear history, specifically the North Boundary Line Refugee Lands and South Boundary Refugee Lands. These survey lines recall the Refugee Tract, set aside for Canadians who supported the American Revolution. Settlements like Kirkersville and Outville are captured alongside family-history markers such as Fletcher Chapel and the Refugee Cem.
