About this map

Sandy Creek and its many tributaries, including North Branch Sandy Creek and South Sandy Creek, define the landscape of this portion of Jefferson County. The terrain is notably marked by deep ravines known locally as gulfs, such as Lorraine Gulf, Inman Gulf, and Totman Gulf, which cut through the uplands. These geological features dictated the placement of early settlements and roads, with villages like Rodman, Lorraine, and Worth established near these watercourses.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family or community burial grounds throughout the area, including Adams State Road Cem, Isham Cem, and Randall Cem. The map reveals a persistent rural character where agriculture remains integrated with the natural drainages of Big Brook and Fish Creek. Small crossroads like Honeyville and Zoar continue to anchor the local road network, preserving the historical layout of these North Country townships.
