1915 Map of Churubusco

About this map

The United States Canada Boundary Line defines the northern edge of this Clinton County landscape, where small agricultural and railway settlements thrived before the First World War. The Rutland R R (Ogdensburg Division) serves as the primary corridor for commerce, connecting Churubusco, Clinton Mills, and Ellenburg Depot. This era is marked by a dense network of local education, with nearly twenty distinct schoolhouses scattered across the townships, including the Liberty Pole School, Steam Mill School, and Fahey School. In the southern half of the map, the terrain rises sharply toward Ellenburg Mountain, overlooking the waters of Chazy Lake and Upper Chateaugay Lake. These highlands are characterized by family-named peaks like Hazeltine Hill and Panther Hill, and the remote Halfway House located along the road east of the mountain range.
