Description
This is a detailed ground plan of Watertown’s Brookside Cemetery, established in 1854 as a tranquil resting spot for the deceased. Winding paths, numerous water features, and well-spaced plots reflect the ‘rural’ design features. The cemetery was designed by engineers Howard Daniels and George Parsons.
The map was published in 1864 as part of S.N. & D.G. Beers’ New Topographical Atlas of Jefferson Co. New York, the first county atlas produced by the Beers family (according to Ristow).
