About this map

Licking River and its dramatic Licking Gorge define the landscape of western Muskingum County in this 1960s era topographic study. The river enters the eastern portion of the sheet to form the northern reaches of Dillon Lake, a significant hydrological feature that altered the local topography. Along the northern banks, the village of Nashport and the settlement of Irville sit near the transition from river valley to the elevated terrain of The Highlands.

Industrial and transit history is recorded through the presence of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad passing through Toboso, while the Pennsylvania line runs through the northern corridor. The map preserves several local landmarks, including the Black Hand Narrows and rural community hubs like Stone Ch and Hanover Cem. A small Strip Mine and Gravel Pit indicate the extractive activity common to the region during this period.
