About this map

Adams and its surrounding Jefferson County landscape are defined by a network of historic settlements and waterways in this recent topographic study. The village remains the primary hub, where the South Park Street Bridge spans Sandy Creek near the center of town. Numerous smaller clusters of residency, such as Green Settlement, Thomas Settlement, and Taylor Settlement, dot the countryside, reflecting a decentralized pattern of early family landholdings.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites across the quadrangle, including Elmwood Cem, Union Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The natural geography is characterized by significant wetland features like Adams Swamp and the sharp relief of Totman Gulf in the southeast. Water drainage follows a westward course through Taylor Brook and South Sandy Creek, while prominent elevations like Prospect Hill and Pine Hill break the otherwise steady descent toward the Great Lakes basin.
