About this map

Fort Drum occupies a significant portion of this Jefferson County landscape, its modern road network and military facilities situated just north of the Black River. The map illustrates the contemporary interface between the established civilian communities of Evans Mills, Calcium, and Felts Mills and the expansive military installation. To the north, Dutch Settlement remains a identifiable locality near the Indian River, while family history is etched into the landscape through the presence of the Hoover Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Sanford Corners Cem.

Transport and water define the region's layout, with West Creek and Pleasant Cr cutting through the terrain. Notable local landmarks like Poors Island and the Anstead Bridge provide specific points of reference for those studying the physical development of the area. The mix of residential clusters like Sanford Corners and the large-scale military infrastructure shows the 21st-century character of this Northern New York corridor.
