About this map

The Perch River Wildlife Management Area dominates the northern landscape of this Jefferson County survey, preserving a wide wetland corridor around Perch Lake and the Perch River. This hydrological system is supported by several smaller tributaries including Parrish Creek and Carter Creek, with the southern boundary shaped by the industrial corridor of the Black River. The settlement pattern follows a network of rural roads connecting small hamlets such as Stone Mills, Pamelia Center, and Glen Park.

Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds like Rouses Cem and Taylor Cem. Local social life is marked by landmarks such as the Drive-in Theater and Willowbrook Country Club. The map also captures the transition of transportation infrastructure, showing the Conrail lines and historic routes like Military Road, while industrial activity is noted at several Quarry sites and a Gravel Pit.
