2010 Map of Moffitsville

About this map

Adirondack Park boundaries encompass this portion of Clinton County, where the settlement of Chazy Lake sits on the western shore of its namesake water body. The landscape is defined by its significant drainage systems, with the Saranac River cutting through the southeast corner near Moffitsville and the winding course of True Brook moving across the central valley. To the west, the massif of Lyon Mountain and the distinct peak of Brushy Knob dominate the high ground. The map records the historical footprint of the region's transportation history, specifically marking the Old Rail Road Bed passing through the hamlet of Russia. This corridor reflects the 19th-century industrial efforts to move timber and iron ore through the northern forest. From the northern reaches of Seine Bay to the southern elevations of Russia Mountain, the geography illustrates a transition from lakefront habitation to dense, mountain-ringed woodlands.
