About this map

Chateaugay serves as the industrial and transport hub of this Franklin County landscape, where the Rutland RR and Ogdensburg Div meet. The terrain transitions from the agricultural flats of North Burke and Coveytown Corners in the north toward the rising Adirondack foothills in the south. The hydro-power of the Chateaugay River is evident at Chateaugay Chasm, supporting local industry like Cooks Mill.

Further south, the wilderness economy of the early twentieth century is marked by Whites Kiln and Blairs Kiln near Bellmont Center. The northern tip of Lower Chateaugay Lake anchors a cluster of settlements including Brainardsville, The Forge, and the Chateaugay Lake PO. Scattered throughout the rural districts are numerous numbered schoolhouses, such as Irish School and the Moody School, offering a precise record for genealogists tracking family homesteads across Burke and Ellenburg townships.
