About this map

The international border between Quebec and New York defines the northern edge of this North Country landscape, where the Port of Entry U.S. Customs stands near the headwaters of Hinchinbrook. The village of Chateaugay serves as the central hub, situated where the Chateaugay River carves through the dramatic Chateaugay Chasm and drops over High Falls. This 1964 field-checked map documents a region of small dairy farms and gravel operations connected by a dense grid of family-named roads like Collins Road and Jerico Road.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the multiple burial grounds, including St Patricks Cem and Evergreen Cem. The map also captures the local transition in transportation, noting an Abandoned railroad line that once linked these northern settlements. Natural resources are prominent, from the Fish Hatchery and Fish Spring to the numerous Gravel Pits that dot the terrain south of Earlville.
