1958 Map of Black River

About this map

The Black River and Indian River drainage basins define this Jefferson County landscape, where mid-century agricultural patterns met expanding military infrastructure. The Fort Drum Military Reservation dominates the eastern half of the map, encompassing landmarks like the Leroy Mansion and several rural cemeteries, including St Marys Cem. Small rural nodes like Dutch Settlement and Evans Mills are connected by a dense network of family-named thoroughfares such as Kiser Schoolhouse Road and Van Tassel Road.
