2010 Map of Watertown

About this map

The Black River defines the urban core of Watertown, where the Watertown Water Works and Sewalls Island reflect the city's long-standing industrial and utility relationship with the waterway. This 2010 survey details the transition from the dense street grids and rail infrastructure of Massey Yard to the surrounding rural hamlets and agricultural lands. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including North Watertown Cemetery, Arsenal Street Cemetery, and the Degel Israel Cemetery. Beyond the city limits, the landscape shifts toward the rising terrain of Dry Hill and small crossroads settlements such as Fields Settlement and Rices. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the winding paths of Stony Creek and the notable drop at Talcott Falls, illustrating the varied topography of Jefferson County just east of Lake Ontario.
