1959 Map of Sackets Harbor

About this map

Sackets Harbor serves as the focal point of this late 1950s survey, positioned where Black River Bay meets Lake Ontario. The village's military legacy is evident through the presence of the Military Cem, a Lookout Tower, and a large Military Reservation. Beyond the harbor, the landscape of Hounsfield and Brownville is defined by a network of historic thoroughfares like Old Military Road and Old State Road, connecting established farming hamlets such as Camps Mills and Stowell Corners. Near the eastern edge, the Watertown Municipal Airport represents the era's infrastructure, while natural features like the marshy Muskalonge Bay and the wooded banks of Stony Creek provide a clear view of the Jefferson County terrain before modern suburban expansion.
