2011 Map of Harrisville

About this map

Harrisville and the surrounding rural communities of Montgomery County are defined by a complex network of creeks and small family-named landmarks. The landscape is carved by substantial water bodies including Buffalo Creek and Big Mountain Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements like Capels Mill. Local history is anchored by the Harris Cemetary near the northern boundary and the Parsons-Howell Cemetery to the south in Pea Ridge, providing specific points of interest for genealogical research. The Harrisville Lookout Tower stands as a prominent man-made feature near the geographic center, overlooking the transition from Luther Mountain to the creek valleys. Many roads, such as Larry Parsons Rd and Dan Graham Rd, reflect the longstanding family ties to this agrarian region, while the small settlement of Ex-Way marks a historical crossroads along the County Line Rd.
