1899 Map of Mooers

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

The North Branch Big Chazy River and the Chazy River carve through this corner of Clinton County, defining a landscape of agricultural settlements and industrial outposts along the United States Dominion of Canada Boundary Line. At the turn of the century, the region's economy relied heavily on the intersection of the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain R. R. and the Delaware and Hudson R. R., centered at Mooers Junction. Smaller hamlets like Irona, Altona, and Sciota dot the rail lines, while more remote sites such as Jerusalem and Alder Bend sit further into the uplands. Geologic and local landmarks such as Rattlesnake Den, Leadmine Gully, and the summit of Rand Hill suggest a rugged terrain that once supported small-scale mining and timber operations, evidenced by the presence of Purdy Mill and Wood Falls.
