2013 Map of Deersville

About this map

The ridge-and-valley terrain of Harrison County is defined by the significant footprints of Tappan Lake and Clendening Lake, two major reservoirs that transformed the local geography. The village of Deersville sits centrally on a high ridge, anchored by the Deersville Methodist Episcopal Cem and its post office. This survey reveals a landscape balanced between seasonal recreation and long-standing rural settlement. While the shoreline features modern developments like the Tappan Lake Marina, West Shore Cottage Area, and East Shore Cottage Area, the surrounding hills preserve older sites of genealogical interest, including the Pleasant Valley Cem and Minksville Cem. The intricate network of township roads, such as Moravian Trl and Tappan Lake Park Rd, follows the contours of the land, connecting scattered homesteads to the waterfront and the historic core of the village.
