About this map

The Black River defines the urban core of Watertown, driving its industrial development and shaping its geography with features like Beebee's Island and Sewalls Island. This modern survey reveals a landscape where the dense grid of the city, marked by the Jefferson County Court Complex and Thompson Park, transitions into the more dispersed hamlets of East Hounsfield and Fields Settlement.

South of the city, the ascent toward Dry Hill and the descent to Talcott Falls illustrate the varied terrain of Jefferson County. A network of burial grounds, including the historic Arsenal Street Cem and Degel Israel Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogists. The map also documents the evolution of local transit and education, from the central campus of Jefferson Community College to the outlying clusters at Rices and Adams Center.
