1899 Map of Mooers

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

The United States Dominion of Canada border defines the northern edge of this Clinton County landscape, where the Great Chazy River and its numerous branches dictate the pattern of early northern New York settlement. Surveyed in the 1890s, the map reveals a rail-centric economy anchored by the Rutland RR and the Delaware and Hudson RR (Mooers Branch), which intersect at Mooers Junction. Local industry and small-scale processing are evident at locations like Purdy Mill and Woods Falls, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle rise toward Rand Hill. Genealogists may find interest in small communities and named locations such as Jerusalem, Jericho, and Alder Bend, or the curiosities of the Flat Rock Ridge area, which includes the colorfully named Rattlesnake Den and Leadmine Gully.
