About this map

The International Boundary defines the northern edge of this North Country landscape, where the town of Clinton Mills and the community of Ellenburg Depot sit among the headwaters of the Champlain Valley drainage. The terrain is characterized by the descent of the English River and the Great Chazy River, which provide drainage for the surrounding State Forest Preserve. Transportation in the mid-1960s was a mix of historic routes and utilitarian access, including the Old Military Turnpike and various Jeep Trails carving through the wooded uplands.

Local landmarks such as Sheldon Hill and the St Edmunds Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogical research and local history. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and Sandpits near Dannemora Crossing and Ellenburg indicates the region's reliance on local materials for road maintenance and construction. The map also captures the Rapids Roadside Park, a public space situated where the river networks begin their steeper descent toward the east.
