About this map

West Chazy and West Beekmantown anchor this rural landscape in Clinton County, where the Little Chazy River flows past the base of Cobblestone Hill. The map documents a community defined by its watercourses and family legacies, evidenced by a high density of burial grounds including the West Chazy Rural Cemetery, Saint Josephs Cemetery, and the Robinson District Cemetery. The terrain transitions from the low-lying basin of the Dead Sea in the northwest to the prominence of Rand Hill in the southwest, creating a diverse topography for local land use.

Industrial and agricultural history is visible through the network of naming on roads like Old Cider Mill Rd and Macadam Rd. The southern reach of the quadrangle includes the small settlement of Beartown near Duncan Pond, illustrating the persistent small-town structure of northern New York. Researchers will find a detailed view of property-level geography, from Vasile Field to the various brooks like Robinson Brook and Corbeau Creek that cross the local farm and timber lands.
