Where I come from in OH
Sheriff ~ County jurisdiction
Deputy ~ County jurisdiction
Marshall ~ USA jurisdiction
Ranger ~ law enforcement in TX or they monitor the forest
Officer ~ city or suburb jurisdiction
Guess this could vary from place to place :)

It's all about jurisdiction
Marshall's have federal jurisdiction
Sheriff's are elected by voters within a county, they have county jurisdiction, and the officers who work for them are called Deputy Sheriffs.... or Deputies. They patrol county areas that aren't patrolled by City Police.
A Ranger is a Park ranger... So has jurisdiction in the Park in which he serves... whether it's a State or Federal Park.
Fish and Game Warden's have statewide jurisdiction as well.
