1961 Map of Millersport

About this map

Buckeye Lake State Park dominates the southeastern quadrant of this study, revealing a landscape defined by the remnants of the Ohio Canal and the recreational development along the shoreline at Millersport and East Millersport. The map captures a transitional period in Central Ohio, where traditional agricultural townships like Etna and Liberty meet modern infrastructure, including the National Trail Raceway and Buckeye Executive Airport. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds, such as Kirkersville Cem and the Refugee Cem, the latter situated near the historic Refugee Lands boundary. The northern reaches follow the South Fork Licking River through Kirkersville and Hebron, where the Hebron State Fish Hatchery sits near the junction of the abandoned canal and the Conrail line.
