About this map

Mercerville serves as a focal point for this section of Gallia County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Indian Guyan Creek and its many tributaries like Drake Fork Indian Guyan Creek. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial sites, indicating a long-established rural population. Notable locations for genealogists include Old Walnut Cemetery, Lincoln Ridge Chapel Cemetery, and Stewart Chapel Cemetery, scattered among the ridges and hollows.

Upland landmarks such as the Fairview Lookout Tower provide orientation across the varied terrain, while infrastructure like Nobles Paradise Lake Dam marks the local water management. The road network, including the historic Hannan Trace Rd, connects smaller settlements like Angel, Leaper, and Saundersville. This map captures the area before modern sprawling development, preserving the locations of numerous historic cemeteries and the original path of rural routes like Lecta Mercerville Rd.
