About this map

The Little Chazy River flows through the northeast corner of Clinton County, anchoring the village of West Chazy during the mid-1960s. This survey illustrates a rural landscape where agriculture and forestry meet, highlighted by the extensive boundaries of the Clinton State Forest and the Lake Alice State Game Management Area. The eastern corridor is defined by the Delaware and Hudson railroad and a network of local roads such as Slosson Road and Parker Road.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including the West Chazy Rural Cemetery, St Josephs Cemetery, and the remote Robinson District Cemetery. From the heights of Rand Hill and Cobblestone Hill to the lowland marshes near Duncan Pond, the topography reveals a terrain dotted with numerous gravel pits and a dedicated Campground near the village center. Historically significant routes like the Military Turnpike cut across the township of Beekmantown, connecting smaller settlements like West Beekmantown and Beartown to the broader regional network.
