About this map

Mooers Forks and Altona anchor this corner of Clinton County, where the hydrography is defined by the North Branch Great Chazy River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is a network of small settlements and rural homesteads connected by a grid of named roads like Davison Rd and Gero Rd. Historical markers such as Saint Anns Cem and Union Cem near the fork of the river suggest long-standing community roots.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with Woods Falls situated along the main channel of the Great Chazy River. From the marshy expanse of Beaver Meadows in the northeast to the crossing at Gero Road Bridge, the map documents a terrain where drainage and small-scale industry once converged. Notable local landmarks like Big Hill and the settlement at Irona provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of this northern New York borderland.
