Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey
between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is
the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers
as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 1,156 frames inside the
rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over
the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four
a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest.

Businesses named in the atlases
92 businesses
Every Sanborn volume opens with a printed index
naming the town's mills, tanneries, hotels and works by proprietor. Those
indexes were read off the scanned sheets by machine and then matched to each
other, so a business surveyed four times appears here once, with the years it
survived. 12 of these 92 were named in more than one atlas. Each carries a
crop of the line it was read from: the spelling is the recogniser's and the
1880s lithographer's, and the scan behind it is the proof.

The most serious of them, by death, then
injury, then recorded damage. The accounts are quoted exactly as the
forecast office filed them.
A microburst hit an egg facility causing the collapse of three large barns and damaging another. This resulted in the fatalities of two men working in one of the collapsed structures. A large rooftop air conditioning unit was also pushed off the roof of an adjacent administrative building. Around the area there were several trees down and numerous broken limbs. In addition to the fatalities, four injuries were also reported.
,,,,,,,,Lightning Winds of 60 mph were reported in Newark. Large hail fell in Hebron where lightning killed a 46-year-old man as he attempted to untie a dog from under a tree to get it to shelter from the hail storm. A 33-year-old woman at the scene was also struck and injured. The dog was unharmed.
Large hail to golf ball size fell for an extended period of time across the far western portion of the county, causing widespread significant damage. Thirty to forty mobile homes and numerous vehicles were severely damaged. A few subdivisions in the Pataskala area had homes that sustained extensive roof and siding damage.
Trees were downed. Damage was significant just north of Newark where 20 utility poles were downed along with numerous trees. Winds in excess of 60 mph may have been caused by a microburst. A motorist was injured when a falling utility pole struck her car.
An estimated 8 inches of rain fell across the county in less than 6 hours. Numerous roads were closed, including Interstate 71,and many houses and businesses were flooded. The county was declared a disaster area by the state of Ohio.
A tornado tracked out of Delaware county across the northwestern part of the county and then continued into Knox county. The storm lifted briefly in spots but maintained a 25 mile track across the three counties, mainly in rural areas. Eleven homes received major damage and 4 received minor damage. Several barns and outbuildings were also destroyed. Twelve buildings at the Buckeye Egg Company were destroyed, trapping one million chickens inside.
The tornado developed at 2001EST, about 3 miles south of Delaware, and moved east southeast across Delaware County. It entered Licking County at 2021EST, about 4 miles west-southwest of Hartford, where the damage path remained quite wide and was likely a complex mix of straight-line winds on the immediate southern flank of the tornadic circulation. However, the damage was very consistent with wind speeds ranging from 90 to 100 mph across most of Licking County. Along this entire stretch of the damage path, the damage was a combination of partial roofs removed on some homes, barns completely destroyed or heavily damaged, widespread trees uprooted and snapped, and power poles snapped. ||The tornado dissipated between State Route 13 and Horns Hills Road south of St. Louisville.
The tornado began in Franklin County at 0549EST in the Havens Corners area. It moved east-northeast and entered Licking County near the intersection of Dixon and McOwen Roads at 0553EST. The tornado caused a wide swath of tree and structural damage along its path across Graham Road SW and the Jersey area. Structural damage was mainly in the form of windows blown out, destroyed barns, and minor roof removal. The tornado slowly weakened as it moved east-northeast toward the southwest side of Granville where it dissipated. Along this stretch, mainly tree and very minor structural damage was noted.
The tornado touched down and snapped numerous healthy pine trees that were 12 to 18 inches in diameter. A large cottonwood tree was also snapped. Several tree branches were blown down on roofs, with some siding damage to a garage. Based on the damage surveyed, the maximum wind speed of this tornado was estimated to be 95 miles per hour.
The tornado touched down in two locations within a mile. At the first location the damage included the removal of part of a roof of a larger metal sized garage. In addition, a supporting post was snapped, one side of the building was blown inward, and metal doors on the opposite side were blown outward. There was also a smaller garage with major damage to a metal door. About four to five large trees were uprooted in this area as well. The circulation was not on the ground for the entire path. At the second location where damage occurred, the tornado removed a large section of metal and wood roofing from a large barn. The debris was spread up to one-quarter of a mile downwind from the barn. In addition, there were three to four pieces of the barn debris impaled in the ground. A door was removed from a smaller storage shed and some damage occurred to one corner of a house where part of the roof was lifted up. The damage at these locations indicated wind speeds ranged from 75 to 80 miles per hour.
The tornado developed in Franklin Township near Sand Hollow Road SE and moved northeast, causing mainly tree and minor structural damage along its path. Tree damage was noted in a path from Sand Hollow Road SE, northeast along Fairview Road, and then on Brownsville Road SE and across Poplar Forks Road SE before it dissipated. Minor structural damage to barns and outbuildings was also noted on Poplar Forks Road SE as well as Fairview Road. Damage along the entire path was estimated to be caused by 70 to 75 mph winds.
The tornado developed in the vicinity of Purity Road where some outbuildings sustained considerable damage, with metal roofing and siding material getting tossed and wrapped in adjacent tree stands. Groves of soft white pine were snapped in a few locations. ||The tornado continued east across Stradley Road and then to Rocky Fork and Rain Rock Roads where more groves of pine trees were snapped and thrown on both roads. Large limbs were thrown onto a house on Rocky Fork Road and metal barn roofing was lifted. Garage doors were also blown in and spatter was noted on buildings and vehicles on Rain Rock Road. A clear path of tree/vegetation loss was seen in this area. The tornado dissipated on the east side of Rain Rock Road. ||Damage along the entire path was consistent with wind speeds of 70 to 75 mph.
Numerous trees were uprooted or snapped off due to damaging thunderstorm winds. A house had the roof removed and the garage collapsed due to the winds. Several large pine trees landed on outbuildings, carports, and homes.
A broken damage path was observed from just west of heath near the Newark-Heath Airport to State Route 13 east of Heath. Trees were snapped off between two and fifteen feet above the ground just west of the airport. A store just east-northeast of the airport had a section of the sign on the front of the store removed. A small business had its metal roof partially peeled away. Further along the path, a masonry building was damaged substantially with one wall completely collapsed along with half of another. Several large trees were uprooted or snapped along the path. Some of the trees pulled up a large amount of rock in which they were previously embedded. Maximum wind speed based on damage is around 120 miles per hour.
A mobile home on the west side of Brushy Fork Road, southeast of Brownsville Road, was destroyed. The mobile home rolled over and the roof and lengthwise side were removed and blown into trees immediately to the east. Trees were snapped or uprooted in the vicinity of the mobile home. Roof damage was observed at a residence on the east side of Brushy Fork Road. Further along the path, trees were snapped on a hillside. Estimated maximum wind speed based on damage is around 109 miles per hour.
Several roofs were damaged and a storage shed was blown off its foundation due to damaging thunderstorm winds. Siding was also ripped off of a building due to the winds.
Trees and limbs were reported down in Hanover due to thunderstorm winds. Wires were reported down near Buckeye Lake. Scattered power outages occurred across the southeastern portions of Licking County.
Trees and powerlines were downed near the intersection of State Route 16 and State Route 146. Route 16 was closed for a period due to debris on the road.
A brief tornado is believed to have occurred near Lesley and Claylick Roads, where a swath of concentrated tree and minor structural damage was observed. The damage was congruent with estimated wind speeds around 80 mph.

The townships, in 1881
465,186 words
History of Licking County, Ohio: Its Past and Present devotes a chapter to each township:
its boundaries and streams, who settled it and when, the mills, the
schools and the churches. All 21 are reproduced here in full. Each row
shows the township's own shape and where it lies in the county, drawn from
the Census Bureau's boundary. Which settlements belong to which township
is computed from that same boundary, not taken from the book.
One book written about this county, cut here
where the book itself is cut, at its printed chapters: 40 chapters in all.
Every chapter is public domain, machine-read from the scan and
reproduced complete. A chapter already given under one of the county's
towns is not repeated in this list.
History of Licking County, O. Its Past and Present (1881)
Everyone History of Licking County, Ohio: Its Past and Present stops to write about, with
the section that describes them. Among them are the men who founded the
place and governed the Territory. Each name opens the passage itself, in
the words of 1881.
Named settlements recorded in the Geographic Names
Information System, each with the topographic sheets covering it. Villages,
hamlets and abandoned places alike. Each is shown with the nearest named
watercourse or landform and the survey quadrangle it falls on. The 6 places that were also surveyed for fire insurance come first, with the number of atlases and photographs held for them.
The complete index, with nothing left out.
Each of these is a separate record with its own page: a federal survey
report, or the case file that argued a property on to the National
Register. Both are public domain and reproduced word for word.
Topographic sheets. USGS Historical Topographic Map Collection, county index, measured from the bulk metadata.
