About this map

Deersville serves as a central hub in this Harrison County landscape, where the Deersville Methodist Episcopal Cem and Deersville Cem reflect the community's deep-rooted local history. The topography is defined by the significant waters of Tappan Lake and Clendening Lake, which create a complex shoreline of inlets such as Bontrager Bay, Wye Bay, and Deersville Bay. These reservoirs, managed for regional water control, have reshaped the area around the village of Tappan, where the Tappan Cem remains near the northern reaches of the lake.

The winding path of the North Country National Scenic Trail traverses the ridges and valleys, connecting natural landmarks like Long Point and several smaller watercourses including McFadden Run and Colman Run. To the southeast, the small settlement of Minksville sits near Brushy Fork, providing a snapshot of the rural township structure. This survey documents the intersection of recreational water management and the long-established agricultural and residential patterns of eastern Ohio.
