2019 Map of Brownville

About this map

The Black River defines the southern boundary of this Jefferson County landscape, anchoring the settlements of Brownville and Glen Park. Just across the Black River Bridge, the terrain rises toward the north where a network of small creeks like Philomel Cr and Parrish Cr carve through the countryside. This map captures a series of long-standing rural hamlets and junctions, including Stone Mills, Noseville, and Pamelia Center. For genealogists, the density of family-named burial grounds is striking, with sites such as Rouses Cem, Stevens Cem, and Pettit Cem scattered along the local road system. The northern reach is dominated by the wetlands surrounding Perch Lake and the Perch River, illustrating the persistent hydrography of the region even as modern highway infrastructure intersects the older rural layout.
