About this map

Deersville serves as the central hub of this eastern Ohio landscape, situated on the high ground between two major reservoir systems. The area is defined by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, which manages the irregular shorelines of Tappan Lake to the north and Clendening Lake to the south. These artificial water bodies, with designated pool elevations, flooded former stream valleys like Stillwater Creek and Brushy Fork, leaving behind a network of narrow, winding inlets.

Evidence of local heritage is found in several rural congregations, including Mount Hope Ch and Brownsville Ch, along with the Deersville Cem. The map also captures the recreational and industrial character of the mid-20th century, from the YMCA Camp and Tappan Lake Park to a solitary Strip Mine in the northern hills of Monroe township. The Dohrman Grant Boundary cutting through the center provides a glimpse into the early land division history of Harrison County.
