2023 Map of Toboso

About this map

The Licking River carves a deep valley through this portion of Muskingum County, creating the distinctive geological features of Licking Gorge and the notable Black Hand Rock. The landscape is defined by the transition between the rolling hills of Bald Knob and the significant water resources of Dillon Lake to the southeast. Settlements like Toboso, Nashport, and Black Run are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a network of rural routes such as Blackrun Rd and Marne Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Old Stone Church of Christ Cem, Shadley Cem, and Beulah Baptist Cem. This 2023 survey documents a region where the natural corridor of the river has dictated the placement of small communities and recreational areas like Rock Haven Park.
