2013 Map of Deerfield

About this map

Deerfield and Palmyra serve as the primary hubs in this section of southeastern Portage County, where the landscape is defined by the significant hydrological presence of the Michael J Kirwan Reservoir to the north and the sprawling arms of Berlin Lake to the south. The road network connects small centers like Diamond and specialized locations such as Karas Farms, illustrating a transition from traditional agricultural land use to managed water resources. Local family histories and early settlement patterns are anchored by numerous burial grounds throughout the township, including Whippoorwill Cem, Palmyra Cem, and Deerfield Cem. The geography is characterized by the meandering courses of Silver Cr and Willow Cr, which feed into the larger reservoirs that now dominate the area's topography. Notable routes like Tallmadge Rd and Waterloo Rd provide a clear view of the modern transit corridor as it passes through these longstanding Ohio communities.
