1958 Map of Clayton

About this map

Clayton serves as the focal point for this Thousand Island region survey, situated where the New York Central Railroad meets the St Lawrence River. The village waterfront is densely detailed with piers and docks near French Creek Bay and Washington Island, while the interior transitions to an agricultural landscape. To the south, the settlement of Depauville sits along the Chaumont River, connected to the riverfront by the Depauville Road. Family history researchers can identify several rural burial grounds including Weaver Cem, Corbin Cem, and Dutch Cem scattered across the township. The topography reveals a mix of limestone flats and small elevations like Schnauber Hill, with the local economy of the late 1950s reflected in numerous quarries and the Central Sch serving the local population center.
