About this map

The international border between New York and Quebec defines this landscape, where the Jamieson Line Station U S Customs and Jamieson Line Canadian Customs facilitate movement across a rural agricultural corridor. This 1970s orthophoto map reveals a region of small settlements and family-named roads, such as Sam Cook Road and Flynns Line Road, set against a backdrop of woods and fields. The Riviere Chateauguay and Trout Creek wind through the terrain, supporting local industry at Cooks Mill.

Genealogists can trace early homestead locations and community anchors, including Sandy Knoll Cem and various unnamed country churches. The presence of the Conrail line and established roads like Jamieson Line Road illustrate the transportation network connecting cross-border hamlets like Athelstan and Powerscourt to the broader regional economy. This study provides a precise look at the land use and property divisions along the northern edge of Franklin County during the late twentieth century.
