About this map

Pataskala and the surrounding Licking County countryside appear here in the early 21st century, showing a landscape defined by its transition from agricultural heritage to modern suburban expansion. The historic National Rd corridor serves as a primary east-west artery, connecting the settlements of Etna and Wagram. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously records numerous small family and township burial grounds, from the Violet Township Cem near Pickerington to the isolated Bowers Cem and Houser Cem.

Waterways like the South Fork Licking River and its tributaries, including Muddy Fork and Sycamore Creek, carve through the terrain, influencing the layout of local roads and modern developments like the Columbus Expressway Park. From the established streets of Columbia Center to the newer residential loops, the map documents the persistent layout of section lines and township boundaries that have governed this part of Ohio since its early settlement.
