Dirt Roads Map

Did you know Chatham has more miles of unpaved roads than any town in Columbia County? It’s true, over half of the 97 miles of Chatham’s town roads are dirt. Want to keep our rural heritage for future generations? Support the Chatham Dirt Road Coalition.

Our map of dirt roads is downloadable for travel.

All of the dirt roads shown on this map are public, so you are free to park along them with the following in mind:
  • SAFETY – be sure to be fully off the road in a visible place and avoid narrow sections or blind spots
  • CONSIDERATION – be kind to the various homes and farms along the roads by keeping driveways and views clear.  Ask yourself, “if I lived here, how would I feel?”
  • CHECK OUT THE SUGGESTED PARKING SPOTS SHOWN ON THE MAP NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 20 – below are written descriptions of their locations with corresponding numbered locations on the map
