About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of Harrison County is defined here by the waters of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, where the Tappan Reservoir and Clendening Reservoir dominate the northern and southern reaches. This 1961 survey captures the area's transition into a regional recreation hub, featuring organized sites like the YMCA Camp, Tappan Lake Park, and the Fort Steuben Camp.

Away from the shorelines, the rural character of the Dohrman Grant remains visible through scattered country churches and ancestral sites. Historic markers include the Deersville Cem and Minksville Ch, while a single Strip Mine in the northwest corner near Plum Run points to the region's industrial extraction. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage network, including McFadden Run and Little Stillwater Creek, as they feed into the modern reservoir system.
