2010 Map of Deferiet

About this map

The Black River winds through the heart of Jefferson County, New York, defining a corridor of riverside settlements that include Deferiet, Great Bend, and Herrings. This modern topographic survey highlights a landscape dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of Wheeler Sack Army Air Field, which occupies a significant portion of the western territory. For local historians, the inclusion of the F W Woolworth Memorial Cemetery provides a specific point of genealogical interest south of the river. To the north, the terrain transitions into more rural character near Pine Plains, where the road network connects smaller hubs such as Sterlingville and Strickland Corners. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by numerous tributaries like Trout Brook, Beaver Meadow Creek, and the West Branch Black Creek, showing how the hydrology of the region continues to shape land use and local boundaries around these established communities.
