About this map

The Canada-United States international boundary defines the northern edge of this mid-1960s survey, where U S Customs stands at the border crossing north of Cannon Corners. The landscape transitions from the southern edge of the State Forest Preserve down into the river valleys of the English River and the Great Chazy River. In the town of Altona, the local infrastructure is anchored by the Altona Central Sch and Holy Angels church, situated near the shores of Miner Lake.

Transport and industry are marked by the Rutland Railroad corridor, which passes through the hamlet of Irona. A network of rural roads such as Military Turnpike and Davison Road connects small communities like Mooers Forks, where several churches and cemeteries, including St Anna Ch and Union Cem, serve as primary genealogical landmarks. The presence of numerous gravel pits and sandpits suggests a local economy tied to the land's glacial deposits.
