1943 Map of Mooers

About this map

The Great Chazy River and the Rutland RR define the settlement patterns of northern Clinton County in the years following the Great Depression. This landscape, surveyed shortly before the United States entered World War II, shows a network of small dairy and farming hamlets linked by rail and water. Concentrated around Mooers, the map details a rural infrastructure of one-room schoolhouses such as White Sch and School No 8, and small commercial centers like Mooers Forks and Sciota. The international boundary between Canada and the United States runs along the northern edge, where Perry Mills sits just south of the Quebec line.
