About this map

Licking Gorge and the Black Hand Narrows form the dramatic centerpiece of this Licking and Muskingum County borderland, where the Licking River carves through the landscape. The era is marked by the established presence of Dillon State Park and the waters of Dillon Lake to the southeast. Small settlements like Toboso, Nashport, and Black Run are connected by a network of rural roads such as Newark Rd and Blackrun Rd, tracing the paths of earlier pioneers.

Genealogists can identify several historic burial grounds including Beulah Baptist Cem and Hanover Cem, while the landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks like Norman Farms and Bald Knob. The presence of the Massengill Airport and the village of Frazeysburg at the northern edge shows the continued utility of the rail-and-road corridors through the hills. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from the river lowlands to the higher ridges of the Brushy Fork drainage.
