1994 Map of Deerfield

About this map

Berlin Lake and its extensive shoreline dominate the southern landscape of this 1994 survey, reflecting a region defined by water management and rural industry. The area around Deerfield and Palmyra maintains its historical layout, with numerous family and community burial grounds such as Mottown Cem and Robinson Cem preserved across the townships. The transition from agricultural use to resource extraction is evident in the Strip Mine operations near Atwater and the Claypit located north of Diamond. Infrastructure like the Pipeline corridors and the prominent Interchange 48 cut through the traditional road network of Edinburg and Palmyra. This survey captures the rural character of southeastern Portage County just as modern suburban influence began to interface with the established coal and clay extraction sites of the Mahoning Valley.
