About this map

The Licking River carves through the heart of the Licking and Muskingum county line, defining a landscape of dramatic elevation changes and historic river valley settlements. Near the western edge, the river passes through the Licking Gorge and Black Hand Narrows, where landmarks like Black Hand Rock overlook the water. The community of Toboso is situated just north of Rock Haven Park, while the larger village of Frazeysburg occupies the northeastern corner of the map along the Wakatamika Creek corridor.

Industrial and transportation history is visible in the placement of settlements like Black Run and Nashport, which follow the valley floor. Toward the southeast, the terrain descends into the waters of Dillon Lake, which has altered the landscape near Irville. For genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating rural burials, including Dove Cem, Perry Cem, and the Beulah Baptist Cem at Cottage Hill.
