About this map

Jericho and Purdys Mill anchor this part of Clinton County, where the Adirondack foothills begin to rise toward the southwest. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the Great Chazy River and its various tributaries, including Stillwater Brook and Brandy Brook. Settled clearings like Alder Bend and Jerusalem are connected by a network of rural roads and historical routes such as the Military Tpke, illustrating the region's long-standing reliance on through-travel and timber resources.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the steep slopes of Dannemora Mountain, while the north features more level terrain such as Flat Rock and the waters of Miner Lake. Recreation and conservation are evident through the Lewis Preserve Trl and the specialized Chocolate-Eclair Ski Trl, showing how modern land use has adapted to the area's geography. Researchers can trace the layout of family-named roads like Rabideau Rd and Duley Rd as they navigate the ridges and brook valleys.
