1943 Map of Churubusco

About this map

Churubusco and its surrounding uplands are defined by a network of one-room schools and rural industrial sites in this 1943 survey of northern New York. The Rutland railroad line cuts through the north, connecting Clinton Mills to the wider region. The landscape is a mix of agricultural clearings and high-elevation terrain like Lyon Mountain, where Upper Chateaugay Lake meets the southern edge of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of named schools, such as Liberty Pole Sch, Fahey Sch, and Steam Mill Sch, indicating a well-distributed rural population during this era. The presence of the United States border at the northern margin and distinct hamlets like Ellenburg Center and Harrigan Corners provide clear markers for tracing historical property lines and local family history.
