About this map

The Canada-United States international boundary defines the northern edge of this northern New York landscape, marked by a Customs Port of Entry at Hinchinbrook. The village of Chateaugay serves as the central hub of activity, where the Chateaugay River carves through the terrain, most notably at the dramatic Chateaugay Chasm and further south at High Falls. The region's infrastructure is built upon a network of rural roads such as Jerdon Road and Rankin Rd, supporting a local economy evidenced by numerous gravel pits and a Fish Hatchery near the Marble River.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local records in the many burial grounds throughout the area, including St Patricks Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Brayton Hollow Cem. The northern settlement of Earlville sits along the Hinchinbrook Brook, while signs of industrial shifts are visible in the railroad lines marked abandoned, which once connected these borderland communities. The landscape is a mix of agricultural clearings and woods, with landmarks like the landing strip and several gauging stations indicating late-mid-century monitoring of the river systems.
