1943 Map of Lafargeville

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Lafargeville stands as the central hub of this Jefferson County landscape, where the New York Central railroad and the Chaumont River intersect. During the early 1940s, the rural character of the region was defined by a dense network of numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 12 and School No 10, indicating a well-distributed agrarian population across the townships of Orleans and Alexandria. The mapping, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the War Department, captures a detailed layout of small family settlements like Tanners Corner and Orleans Four Corners. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Hinman Cem, St Johns Cem, and Perch Lake Cem near the shores of Perch Lake. Small waterways like Carter Creek and Hyde Creek thread through the woodlots and fields, illustrating the drainage patterns of this northern New York terrain.
