2010 Map of Black River

About this map

Evans Mills and the namesake Black River anchor this Jefferson County landscape, where the hydrography of the Indian River and Pleasant Creek once drove local industry. The map documents a dense network of hamlets and crossroads, including Dutch Settlement, Pamelia Four Corners, and Felts Mills. For researchers of local history, the inclusion of the Leray Mansion and several well-defined burial grounds, such as Hoover Cemetery and Sheepfold Cemetery, provides a clear view of the area's social and geographic lineage. The terrain is marked by significant river features like Poors Island and the Anstead Bridge crossing. The settlement pattern reveals how rail and road corridors influenced the growth of communities like Calcium and Sanfords Four Corners, mapping the evolving suburban and agricultural character of the region as it stood in 2010.
