1961 Map of Utica

About this map

The North Fork Licking River carves a central corridor through this Licking County landscape, shaping the development of settlements from Utica in the north down to St Louisville and Vanatta. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks closely parallel the river's course, a testament to the era's reliance on rail transport for both industrial and agricultural commerce. While the river valleys are home to the primary towns, the surrounding uplands are defined by deep-cut hollows like Dog Hollow and Preston Hollow.
