About this map

The Middle Fabius River carves a winding path through the northern Lewis County countryside, creating prominent landmarks like the dramatic Horseshoe Bend. This agricultural landscape is anchored by the community of Deer Ridge and the nearby Forest Springs, where rural life is organized around a network of county roads and river crossings. Several distinctive structures bridge the local waterways, including Parrish Bridge, Seaman Bridge, and Limekiln Bridge, indicating the historical importance of maintaining transit across the river's diverse tributaries.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of community institutions across the township. The map preserves the locations of several educational and burial sites, from the Union School and Banner School to the Chapel Cemetery and Bondurant Cemetery. The southern edge of the sheet transitions toward the outskirts of LaBelle, marked by the LaBelle Cemetery and the intersection of roads like Ash St and Butternut Ave.
