About this map

Sandy Cr and Taylor Brook wind through the heart of this Jefferson County landscape, anchoring a series of small, scattered hamlets and family-named landmarks. The village of Adams and the nearby Adams Center serve as the primary hubs, surrounded by a rural network of named clusters such as Thomas Settlement, Taylor Settlement, and Green Settlement. These names suggest a history of tight-knit agricultural communities where property lines and local identity were closely linked to specific families.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, including Elmwood Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Union Cem, providing clear markers of the region's long-established residency. Transportation and industry are marked by features like the Butterville Airport and the South Park Street Bridge, while the southern reaches of the map transition into more distinct terrain features like Totman Gulf and Mooney Gulf, where the land drops toward Raystone Cr.
