2010 Map of Deersville

About this map

Deersville serves as the central hub of this Harrison County landscape, where rural town life meets the expansive shorelines of 21st-century reservoirs. The village is well-documented for genealogical interest, featuring the Deersville Methodist Episcopal Cemetery and the Deersville Post Office. North of the town, the waters of Tappan Lake dominate the terrain, surrounded by seasonal and residential developments like the West Shore Cottage Area and East Shore Cottage Area. These man-made lakes, including Clendening Lake to the south, have reshaped the local geography, turning former stream valleys into recreational areas such as the Tappan Lake Marina and YMCA Camp. Historical markers of earlier settlement patterns remain visible through scattered sites like the Hattonia Post Office and the small community of Minksville, while the network of township roads—including the Moravian Trl—traces the older paths through the hills between Little Stillwater Creek and Brushy Fork.
