About this map

Chazy Lake dominates the southern landscape of this 1960s survey, its waters reaching into Seine Bay near the base of Topknot Mountain. The region is defined by the heavy presence of the Adirondack State Park and the State Forest Preserve, where the terrain rises sharply toward the summit of Ellenburg Mountain. Human activity is concentrated along the periphery of these protected lands, with the small settlement of Ledger Corners serving as a local crossroads in the southeast.

Transportation through this part of Clinton County relies on a network of named tracks such as Plank Road and Alder Bend Road, while the Delaware and Hudson corridor skirts the southwestern edge. The map captures an era of natural resource management, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and a Pumping Station on the lake shore, which support the area's rural infrastructure alongside the winding courses of the Great Chazy River and Graves Brook.
