2019 Map of Newark

About this map

The Licking County Courthouse stands at the center of this 2019 survey, anchoring the city of Newark at the confluence of the North Fork Licking River and South Fork Licking River. The landscape reveals a complex mix of urban density and archaeological significance, most notably the Newark Mounds near the city's southern reaches. To the west, the village of Granville and the Welsh Hills define the transition toward more elevated terrain, while the city of Heath spreads south alongside the Newark-Heath Airport. Educational institutions such as the Ohio State University at Newark and Central Ohio Technical College Newark Campus signify the modern development of Sharon Valley. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Cedar Hill Cem and Mount Calvary Cem, while the Newark-Licking Head Reservoir manages the local water network.
