2016 Map of West Chazy

About this map

West Chazy and West Beekmantown anchor this rural landscape in the northeastern corner of the state, where the terrain shifts from the lowlands of the Little Chazy River toward the rising elevations of Rand Hill. The area is defined by a series of north-south ridges and brooks, including Tracy Brook and Rea Brook, which have historically influenced the placement of farms and roads. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, such as the West Chazy Rural Cem and the Saint Josephs Cem, alongside older family markers like the Stone Cem. The map reveals the persistence of early settlement names like Robinson and Beartown, positioned near landmarks like Cobblestone Hill and Bear Hollow. The detailed drainage network, featuring Dead Sea and Duncan Pond, highlights the complex hydrology that supported this region's agriculture and early homesteads.
