About this map

The St Lawrence River and its intricate shoreline define the northwestern edge of this Jefferson County landscape, where Kring Point State Park juts into the water near a cluster of named islands including Wintergreen Island and Caprice Island. Inland, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of lakes and marshes, with Butterfield Lake and Millsite Lake dominating the eastern half. The village of Redwood serves as a central hub, situated near Mud Lake at a junction where the New York Central railroad once threaded through the lake country.

Smaller settlements and crossroads like Plessis, Browns Corners, and Skinners Corners are connected by a web of local routes such as Settlement Road and Jewett Road. Genealogists will find interest in several documented burial sites, including Redwood Cem and Barnes Cem. The map also captures the local industrial footprint of the late 1950s through various Sand and Gravel Pits, while the southern reaches follow the winding course of the Indian River.
