1966 Map of Peru

About this map

St Augustine Ch and the Central Sch anchor the village of Peru, serving as a cultural hub for this portion of Clinton County during the mid-1960s. The landscape transitions from the agricultural flats of the east to the more varied terrain of the west, where the Clinton State Forest and the Adirondack State Park boundary begin. Waterways like the Little Ausable River and Salmon River define the local drainage, while the presence of the Delaware and Hudson railroad and the Adirondack Northway illustrate the area's evolving transportation network. Religious landmarks such as the Mother Cabrini Shrine and St Patricks Ch near Mount Etna provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking parish life. Settlement patterns are further revealed through small hamlets like Schuyler Falls and Laphams Mills, alongside numerous gravel pits that hint at local geological industry.
