About this map

Great Sacandaga Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Fulton County landscape, where the irregular shoreline of Vandenburgh Point and Kunkel Point frames numerous small islands like Scout Island. Further south, the settlement of Broadalbin serves as a central hub, surrounded by a network of rural hamlets including Vail Mills, Perth, and Steele Corners. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Yates Cem and the Broadalbin-Mayfield Rural Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in this part of New York.

The drainage patterns of Kennyetto Creek and its tributaries, like Sherman Brook and Chambers Brook, historically powered the local economy, evidenced by names like Stever Mill and Union Mills. Aviation history is also noted with The Pines Airport and Murphys Landing Strip situated amidst the fields and woodlots. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from the lakeside recreation areas in the north to the established agricultural and residential corridors along the southern roads.
