1943 Map of Clayton

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Clayton sits at the northern edge of this wartime survey, serving as a gateway to the St Lawrence River and its scattered landforms like Calumet Island and Washington I. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the New York Central railroad, which terminates at the riverfront to support the regional commerce of the early 1940s. Moving inland, the map transitions into a dense network of rural school districts and family landmarks. Researchers can identify School No 14 and School No 7 along the roads leading toward Clayton Center. To the south, Depauville marks a significant settlement at the crossing of the Chaumont River, where the terrain begins to flatten. The distribution of small burial grounds like Corbin Cem and Weaver Cem reflects the deep-rooted family farming history of Jefferson County during this era.
