1942 Map of Clayton

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Clayton serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated where the St. Lawrence River meets French Creek Bay. The early 1940s topography captures a village defined by its relationship with the water and the New York Central railroad line, which terminates near the docks. Moving inland, the map transitions into the agricultural interior of Jefferson County, where the settlement of Depauville sits along the banks of the Chaumont River. This era of documentation reveals a dense network of local education and genealogy, including School No 14 and School No 7, alongside family-named burial grounds like Corbin Cem and Weaver Cem. The proximity of islands such as Calumet Island and Washington I highlights the region's importance as a gateway to the Thousand Islands during this period.
