About this map

The northern border of New York meets the Canadian frontier in this 2016 survey, where the village of Chateaugay serves as a primary hub for this rural landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Chateaugay River, which carves through the dramatic Chateaugay Chasm and drops over High Falls. This area in Franklin and Clinton counties is characterized by a dense network of country roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Lawrence Carey Rd, McNierney Rd, and Shee Woods Rd, reflecting generations of settlement and land use.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the landscape, including Saint Patricks Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the small Brayton Hollow Cem. To the north, the hamlet of Earlville sits along Hinchinbrook Brook, while the Marble River flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of the North Country, from the fishing waters of Bailey Brook to the old industrial traces near Pulp Mill Rd.
