About this map

Dexter and Limerick sit at the center of this Jefferson County landscape, where the Perch River flows toward its outlet. The terrain is defined by the proximity to Lake Ontario, with the indented shorelines of Guffin Bay and Black River Bay shaping the western edge of the quadrangle. A distinct geological landmark, the Natural Bridge of New York, is located north of Dexter, highlighting the region's unique karst topography.

Settlement patterns follow the local waterways and historic transport routes, including Co RD 125 and the road to Chaumont. Genealogists and local historians will find several well-placed burial grounds, such as Freeman Cem, Luther Hill Cem, and Dexter Cem, providing clear reference points for family research. The interior is largely composed of wetlands like Gym Swamp and low-lying elevations such as Luther Hill and Slaughter Hill, illustrating a rural landscape that remained focused on its connection to the Great Lakes and local river systems.
