About this map

Clinton State Prison and the adjacent State Hospital dominate the northern landscape of this Clinton County survey, perched on the slopes beneath Dannemora Mtn. This mid-1960s perspective reveals the institutional footprint of Dannemora, including specialized features like the State Prison Cem and the Prison Reservoirs. The industrial and transport character of the region is defined by the Delaware and Hudson RR, which skirts the prison grounds before winding toward the Saranac River valley.

Downstream, the settlements of Cadyville and Woods Mills are situated along the river's path, where the topography transitions into the wooded expanse of the Clinton State Forest. Local education and community life are marked by the Saranac Central Sch and Picketts Corners, while family-named routes such as Lefevre Road and Duquette Road connect the outlying farmsteads and gravel operations to the village centers.
