About this map

The Saint Lawrence River shapes the northern edge of this Thousand Islands gateway, where the village of Clayton serves as a focal point for maritime activity. In the early 21st century, the shoreline at French Creek Bay and Goose Bay remains a hub for local industry, evidenced by the Thousand Island Marina and French Creek Marina. Moving inland, the landscape transitions to the agricultural and residential outskirts of Smith Corners and Clayton Center.

To the south, the village of Depauville sits along the winding path of the Chaumont River, illustrating the historical pattern of settlement near inland waterways. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds across the countryside, including the Dutch Cemetery, Weaver Cemetery, and Corbin Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinctive rises such as McCarn Hill and Fox Hill, which break up the broad expanse of the Elm Flats.
