About this map

Altona and the surrounding Clinton County hamlets are defined by a complex web of waterways feeding into the Great Chazy River. This 2013 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where small settlements like Irona and Mooers Forks are connected by a network of local roads such as Gero Rd and Lamberton Rd. The landscape is a mix of agricultural clearings and wetlands, notably the Beaver Meadows in the northeast corner.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including Walker Cem, Union Cem, and Saint Anns Cem, providing clear markers of the area's social history. The presence of Missile Base Rd near the eastern boundary offers a subtle nod to Cold War-era infrastructure. The hydrological patterns of the English River and branches of the Great Chazy River dominate the geography, dictating the placement of early settlements and road crossings like the Gero Road Bridge.
