About this map

La Fargeville serves as the central hub of this late 1950s landscape in Jefferson County, where the New York Central railroad corridor intersects the local road network. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community organized around traditional crossroads such as Orleans Four Corners, Strough Corners, and De La Farge Corners. The terrain is defined by the prominent Beech Ridge and the winding course of the Chaumont River, which cuts through the center of the township.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including St Johns Cem, Hinman Cem, and Beech Ridge Cem. To the south, the extensive wetlands of the Perch River State Game Management Area surround Perch Lake, illustrating the preserved natural character of the region alongside active farm-to-market routes like Whiskey Street and Honey Flat Road.
