About this map

The Black River carves a distinctive industrial and topographical path through this area, creating several notable landforms including Beebee's Island, Sewalls Island, and Diamond Island. These islands, historically central to the power and development of the city, sit near the Watertown Water Works. The urban grid transitions into the surrounding countryside, where small settlements like East Hounsfield, Fields Settlement, and Rices maintain their identities.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial grounds, ranging from the large Watertown Cem and Brookside Cem to the Degel Israel Cem and the rural Fields Settlement Cem. To the south, the landscape rises toward Dry Hill and features the dramatic drop of Talcott Falls, while established agricultural operations like Murrock Farms and Jenkins Dairy Farm mark the outskirts of the Jefferson County seat.
