2011 Map of Brownville

About this map

Brownville and Glen Park anchor the southern edge of this landscape along the banks of the Black River, a region defined by its transition from industrial riverfront to the wetlands of the Perch River basin. Further north, the settlement of Stone Mills sits near the headwaters of Stone Mills Creek, while the expansive Perch Lake dominates the upper reaches of the map. This area is notably dense with family-name cemeteries that provide a direct link to the region's agricultural roots, including Rouses Cemetery, Parrish Cemetery, and Pettit Cemetery. The drainage pattern of Philomel Creek and Parrish Creek highlights the low-lying, water-rich terrain of central Jefferson County, where small crossroads like Gunns Corners and Scoville Corners punctuate a network of rural roads such as Military Rd and Star School House Rd.
