Description: Plat map showing a portion of Buckeye Lake labeled Section 17, T. 19, R. 17 (NE and SE quarters). Shown on the map are features of the lakeshore, as well as nearby rail lines. Located at the intersection of Licking, Perry and Fairfield Counties, Buckeye Lake was a part of the Ohio and Erie Canal system. The map was drawn by Eugene Blake in 1922, presumably under the direction of the Canal Commission of the state of Ohio. In the 1820s, the state began construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal, and workers built a dike that diverted water from the south fork of the Licking River into the pond, which then became known as the Licking Reservoir or Licking Summit Reservoir. As canals declined in use in the second half of the 19th century, the Ohio and Erie Canal was abandoned and began to deteriorate, but the canal's decline did not mean an end to the Licking Reservoir. Instead, the state legislature renamed it Buckeye Lake and made it a public park in 1894. In 1949, the state of Ohio designated Buckeye Lake as a state park. The amusement park began to decline in popularity by the late 1950s and continued to deteriorate in the 1960s. Although the amusement park no longer exists, Buckeye Lake State Park still attracts a number of visitors to the area each year, in addition to the many people who own vacation homes near the lake or live in the area year-round.
