About this map

Tylersville and the surrounding township of Rutland dominate this Jefferson County landscape, characterized by small rural hamlets and a network of named roads. In the north, the Black River carves a deep valley past Huntington Island and Delano Island, where a spillway and a nearby Radio Tower mark the modern infrastructure of the late 1950s. The interior is largely agricultural, with numerous family-named routes such as Staplin Road and Hadcock Road connecting isolated farmsteads.

Evidence of early local settlement is found in the distribution of small burial grounds like Rutland Hollow Cem and Cotes Cem. Industry is represented by several Gravel Pits and the Jacobs Quarry located south of Boynton Creek. The map also includes a State Reforestation Area in Pinckney, highlighting conservation efforts alongside the established village centers of Rutland Center and Burrs Mills.
