About this map

The Great Chazy River and its numerous tributaries define the drainage and settlement patterns of this northern New York landscape. Several distinct hamlets are documented across the terrain, including Altona, Irona, and Mooers Forks, each situated near the watercourses that historically powered local industry. The map captures a transition between the more developed southern corridor and the wooded northern reaches toward Beaver Meadows.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, such as Saint Anns Cemetery near Woods Falls and Walker Cemetery in the north. The network of rural roads like Cannon Corners Rd and Irona Rd connects these disparate settlements, tracing a path through the valley of the North Branch Great Chazy River. The presence of small brooks, including Sample Brook and Witherspoon Brook, underscores the high density of local hydrography that has shaped the agricultural and residential boundaries of Clinton County.
