About this map

Chazy Lake and the high peaks of the Adirondack State Park dominate this late 1960s survey of Clinton County. The landscape is defined by its significant relief, rising from the Saranac River in the southeast to the prominent summit of Lyon Mountain, which features a Lookout Tower overlooking the northern wilderness. Small settlements like Moffitsville and Russia are situated along the lower elevations, connected by a network of rural routes including True Road and Cannon Road.

Large tracts of protected land, including the State Forest Preserve, cover the slopes of Dannemora Mountain and Russia Mtn. The hydrology of the region is intricately mapped, showing several secluded water bodies such as Dow Pond, Barnes Pond, and Mud Pond, alongside northern shoreline features like Seine Bay and Halfway Point. This map provides a look at the region's geography before significant modern development, preserving the location of local landmarks like the Pumping Station.
