About this map

Stone Mills and Gunns Corners anchor the northern reaches of this Jefferson County landscape, where the waters of Perch Lake and the Perth River define the local geography. The map reveals a dense network of country roads, such as Co Rte 16 and Military Rd, connecting small rural intersections like Scoville Corners and Noseville. To the south, the terrain transitions toward the industrial and residential corridors of Brownville and Glen Park along the banks of the Black River.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites across the township, including Rouses Cem, Parrish Cem, Stevens Cem, and Taylor Cem. These small cemeteries, often located near historical homesteads and intersections like Pamelia Center, provide a clear spatial record of the area's early settlement patterns. The presence of Philomel Cr and Miller Cr further illustrates the drainage patterns that influenced the placement of these early communities.
