About this map

Ellenburg Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this 1912 survey, where the heavy timber and high elevations give way to the rural townships of Ellenburg and Clinton. The northern border is defined by the United States Canada Boundary Line, with the settlement of Frontier sitting just below the international division. This era shows a densely settled agrarian and early industrial network, marked by an extraordinary number of one-room schoolhouses such as Liberty Pole School, Steam Mill School, and Fernwood School.

Transport is centered on the Rutland RR (Ogdensburg Division), which facilitates movement between Churubusco, Clinton Mills, and Ellenburg Depot. The terrain is characterized by the headwaters of the English River and the North Branch Great Chazy River, while the southwestern corner touches the shores of Upper Chateaugay Lake. Small family-named landmarks like Harrigan Corners and Ledger Corners reflect the localized nature of commerce and travel before the expansion of modern highways.
