About this map

The Indian River winds through the heart of Jefferson County, serving as the central geographic feature for the village of Theresa. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its small agricultural hubs and historical intersections, such as Still Corners and Cooper Corners. The rural character of the region is evident in the preservation of several family and community burial grounds, including the Van Allen Cem and Chaufty Cem, which remain as essential touchstones for local genealogical research.

Transport patterns across the quadrangle are marked by numerous crossings and bridges that navigate the complex hydrography of Black Cr, Otter Cr, and the Perch River. Settlements like Rivergate and Douglas Crossing indicate the importance of these waterway and roadway junctions in the local economy. From the elevations of Corbin Ledge to the fields of Home Again Farm, the map provides a comprehensive view of how modern rural life in New York continues to be shaped by its traditional settlement patterns and water-driven geography.
