About this map

La Fargeville serves as the primary hub of this Jefferson County landscape, situated at the confluence of the Chaumont River and several local transit corridors. The 1982 photorevisions highlight modern infrastructure updates, such as a Sewage Disposal plant and a Landing Strip, superimposed over a traditional dairy and agricultural layout. The terrain is characterized by gentle elevations like Beech Ridge and Dog Hill, with numerous family-named crossroads like Tanners Corners and De La Farge Corners anchoring the rural road network.

Conservation interests are represented by the expansive Perch River Wildlife Management Area surrounding Perch Lake in the south. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, identifying St Johns Cem, Beech Ridge Cem, and the Orleans Cem. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade passing through Orleans Four Corners provides a clear trace of former transit patterns that once connected these northern New York townships.
