2019 Map of Mercerville

About this map

Wayne National Forest land covers much of this Gallia County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of streams such as Indian Guyan Creek and Raccoon Creek. Small settlements like Mercerville and Saundersville serve as anchor points in an area dominated by family-named cemeteries and rural chapels. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific burial sites, including the Lincoln Ridge Chapel Cemetery and Stewart Chapel Cemetery, which point to the long-standing community foundations in this corner of Ohio. The map also captures the varied topography of Angel and Leaper, with narrow valleys shaped by Claylick Run and Swan Creek. This detailed 2019 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, from Nobles Paradise Lake to the various township boundaries like t3n r15w.
