About this map

The international border between New York and Quebec defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the rural community of Churubusco serves as a central hub. The terrain is marked by a sophisticated network of waterways including the English River, Marble River, and Brandy Brook, reflecting a region defined by its drainage into the Saint Lawrence River basin. To the northeast, the settlement of Clinton Mills sits near the headwaters of the English River, indicating the area's historical reliance on water power and timber resources.

Local family history is etched into the landscape through numerous named thoroughfares such as Pete Laclair Rd, Lagree Rd, and Gagnier Rd. These roads, along with descriptively named routes like Liberty Pole Rd and Frontier Rd, trace the settlement patterns of Clinton County. The map provides a precise look at modern land use, showing the distribution of wetlands and the transition from agricultural fields to the wooded headwaters of brooks like Hinchinbrook Brook.
