About this map

Adams and Adams Center serve as the primary hubs in this Jefferson County landscape, where the pattern of historical settlement is marked by numerous family-named hamlets and corners. The presence of smaller clusters like Thomas Settlement, Taylor Settlement, and Green Settlement suggests a community structure rooted in ancestral landholdings. This geography is further defined by its burial grounds, including Elmwood Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery, which provide critical anchors for genealogical research in the region.

Waterways like Sandy Creek and Stony Creek wind through the terrain, while geological features such as Pine Hill and Mooney Gulf create distinct natural boundaries. Transportation routes link the more established centers of Belleville and Smithville with rural junctions like Babbitt Corner and Saxe Corner. This 2010 survey reflects the modern road network superimposed over a 19th-century settlement pattern that remains largely intact.
