1902 Map of Broadalbin

About this map

The Sacandaga River valley dominates this turn-of-the-century landscape, appearing here decades before the construction of the Conklingville Dam would fundamentally alter this terrain. The river meanders past numerous small settlements and crossroads that would later be impacted by the reservoir, including Osborn Bridge and Northampton. Industrial activity of the era is evident through several milling sites such as Hagedorns Mills, Union Mills, and Vail Mills, which supported the local economy alongside the F. J. and G. R. R. railroad line connecting Broadalbin to the wider region.
