1966 Map of Morrisonville

About this map

The Saranac River winds through the heart of this Clinton County landscape, anchoring a series of industrial and residential nodes during the mid-1960s. Hydroelectric infrastructure is evident at the powerplant near Kent Falls, while the surrounding terrain is marked by numerous Gravel Pits, indicating the active extraction industry of the era. This survey captures the distinct community identities of Morrisonville, Cadyville, and the Irish Settlement, each connected by a network of historic thoroughfares like Old Military Road and the Military Turnpike. To the east, the Plattsburgh Municipal Airport and the County Fairgrounds represent the region's expanding mid-century civic infrastructure. Deep woodlots of the Clinton State Forest and the Salmon River valley provide a stark contrast to the developed corridors and scattered family cemeteries that define the local genealogy of the township.
