2019 Map of Rutland Center

About this map

Watertown and the northern reaches of the Black River dominate this modern landscape, where urban development transitions into the rolling agricultural lands of Jefferson County. The river's path is marked by distinctive features such as Huntington Island and Delano Island, while the surrounding hillsides are dotted with historic burial grounds including Calvary Cem and Clark Cem. Settlements like East Watertown and Rutland Center are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the natural topography, illustrating the area's continued reliance on early transport corridors such as Middle RD and Co RD 49. The map also captures the varied hydrology of the region, from the headwaters of Staplin Cr to the small basin of Rutland Lake. Family names and historical hamlets remain preserved in the nomenclature of places like Burrs Mills and the Underwood Hill vicinity, offering a clear record of local lineage near the boundary with Lewis County.
