About this map

The Buckeye Lake shoreline dominates this 2016 survey, revealing a densely packed archipelago of named islands and waterfront settlements at the intersection of Licking, Fairfield, and Perry Counties. From the primary village of Thornville in the south to Hebron in the northwest, the map documents a landscape defined by recreational geography and early 19th-century legacies. The Cranberry Marsh stands out as a unique natural feature amidst the developed leisure communities of Fairfield Beach, Harbor Hills, and Edgewater Beach.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous small burial grounds such as the Old Methodist Episcopal Cem and Kemper Family Cem preserved alongside modern infrastructure. The presence of Clum Airport and Observatory Hill indicates the diverse land use of the area, while the Dawes Arboretum Pond reflects the region's commitment to botanical conservation. The transition from the South Fork Licking River valley into the lake district illustrates the significant hydrological modification that has shaped this part of Ohio.
