2019 Map of Toboso

About this map

Licking Gorge and the striking Black Hand Rock formation define the central corridor of this Licking and Muskingum County borderland. The Licking River flows through the center of the sheet, feeding into the northern reaches of Dillon Lake near Irville. This area is characterized by several small, established rural settlements such as Toboso, Black Run, and Nashport, many of which grew alongside the river and railroad routes that historically navigated this uneven terrain. Genealogists can find several small burial grounds across the townships, including the Perry Cem and the Pleasant Valley Baptist Cem. To the north, Frazeysburg sits at the edge of the rolling landscape where Wakatomika Creek crosses the map. The collection of local cemeteries and named landmarks like Bald Knob provide a detailed perspective on the region's 21st-century rural character and long-standing community boundaries.
