1903 Map of Clayton

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The St. Lawrence River dominates this turn-of-the-century landscape, peppered with islands like Washington I. and Calumet I. near the busy hub of Clayton. This 1900 survey illustrates a region defined by its waterfronts and rail connections, where the New York Central & Hudson River R.R. Clayton Branch and the Cape Vincent Branch link lakeside communities. Further south, the map reveals the complex shoreline of Chaumont Bay, reaching past Pt. Salubrious and Pt. Independence toward the inland village of Chaumont. The interior is crisscrossed by waterways such as the Chaumont River and French Creek, supporting a network of small settlements including Depauville and Limerick. Near the southern edge at the Black River, the presence of the Black River Traction Co. Electric R.R. at Dexter signals the early 20th-century expansion of interurban transit.
