2016 Map of Chase Mills

About this map

The Grass River and Raquette River define the local topography of this Saint Lawrence County landscape, which remains characterized by its rural crossings and small settlements. The community of Chase Mills sits at a prominent bend in the river, while the tiny hamlet of Dishaw and a portion of Norfolk anchor the eastern edges. The area is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites, including the Chamberlain Corners Cem and the Haskell Ridge Cem near the elevated Haskell Ridge. Toward the southeast, the Yaleville Road Bridge provides a crossing over the Raquette, while a dense network of country roads like Irish Settlement Rd and Tiernan Ridge Rd connect the isolated farmsteads and wooded tracts. This 2016 survey captures the enduring layout of these riverside New York townships, where the natural drainage of Trout Brook and Coles Creek continues to influence the placement of cemeteries and old farm lanes.
