About this map

Ellenburg Center serves as the primary hub of this northern Clinton County landscape in the mid-1960s, situated where the Chazy River meets a network of local roads like Patnode Road and Smith Road. The geography is defined by a transition from the lower agricultural and residential reaches near Harrigan to the heavily forested elevations of the Adirondack State Park. This protected boundary encompasses significant peaks such as Spruce Hill and Panther Hill, alongside numerous gravel pits that suggest the local industry of the era.

Water plays a central role in the southwestern quadrant, where the Chateaugay Narrows connect to the northern tip of Upper Chateaugay Lake. The shoreline at Merrill and the nearby Bluff Point highlight the recreational and residential character of the lakefront, while family history is preserved at the Star Road Cem, West Hill Cem, and Hutchins Cem. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure during a time when remote outposts like West Hill were marked by Radio Towers.
