Historical Background:
Included in the County Clerk's Map Collection are various maps without filing dates but nonetheless a part of the office since the mid-19th century. It is presumed that some of the earliest came were placed with the Clerk upon completion of the 1845 Warren County Court House and as well with the appointment of a county surveyor, R.J. Brown, in the late 1800's. Included in this collection: Hudson Valley Railway, Glens Falls Railroad, Utility Acquisitions, School District Atlas, Townships, Public Works Projects, Glens Falls Village Maps, and Tax Maps. For reference purposes, the county has also acquired from New York State Archives copies of land tracts relative to Warren County. Although not previously indexed, the collection has now catalogued, placed in archival storage, and available through the Records Storage Center.
