2016 Map of Dexter

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the western edge of this Jefferson County landscape, where Guffin Bay cuts into the shoreline near the village of Chaumont. The interior is defined by a network of waterways including the Chaumont River, Perch River, and the Black River, which flows through the village of Dexter in the south. This area demonstrates a long-standing settlement pattern centered on these water routes, with inland hamlets like Limerick and Depauville connected by historical roads such as Morris Track Rd and Star School House Rd. Genealogists will find several family and community landmarks, including the Freeman Cem, Luther Hill Cem, and Dexter Cem. A unique geographic feature, the Natural Bridge of New York, sits near Doanes Hill, while the expansive Gum Swamp occupies the central lowlands.
