About this map

The international border between New York and Quebec defines the northern landscape of this region, marked by the Customs Port of Entry and its northern counterpart, the Canadian Customs Port of Entry. This mid-1960s survey captures the rural character of Clinton County, where the settlement of Churubusco serves as a central point along the local road network. The map reveals a transition in the local economy, shown through the Old RR Grade Abandoned that once connected Clinton Mills to the wider region.

Hydrology plays a significant role in the local geography, with the Marble River, Hinchinbrook Brook, and the North Branch Great Chazy R flowing through the area. Much of the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle are dedicated to the State Forest Preserve, illustrating the persistent woodland cover surrounding smaller settlements like Frontier. Numerous gravel pits scattered across the map highlight the importance of local surface mining during this period.
