About this map

Black River flows into the eastern reach of Lake Ontario at the village of Dexter, anchoring a landscape where river-driven history meets rural farmsteads. This early 21st-century survey illustrates a network of waterways including Chaumont River and Perch River, which drain the low-lying terrain of Jefferson County. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, marking several family-named landmarks and resting places such as Freeman Cem, Luther Hill Cem, and the larger Dexter Cem.

Settlement patterns are concentrated at crossroads like Limerick and Reynolds Corner, while named agricultural operations like Parker Family Farms and Bar Z Farm highlight the area's continued reliance on the land. Small rises in elevation, such as Slaughter Hill and Doanes Hill, break the relatively flat lakeside topography, while several named creeks—Guffin Cr, Sucker Cr, and Trout Cr—carve through the township, reflecting the complex drainage typical of this Lake Ontario shoreline region.
