2019 Map of Black River

About this map

Fort Drum dominates the central landscape, showing the modern layout of this major military installation alongside the historic villages of Jefferson County. The map details the complex road network within the base, including Enduring Freedom Drive and Mount Belvedere Boulevard, which contrast with the older rural patterns of Dutch Settlement to the north. Waterways like the Indian River and West Creek define the local drainage, leading toward the Black River where industrial-era remnants are found at Felts Mills and Poors Island. Genealogy researchers will find several small burial sites, such as Hoover Cemetery and Quaker Cemetery, tucked between the sprawling infrastructure. The transition from the rural hamlet of Calcium to the concentrated facilities of the fort illustrates the 21st-century character of this strategic northern New York corridor.
