1902 Map of Broadalbin

About this map

Northville and the Sacandaga Park resort area serve as the northern anchors of this pre-dam landscape, where the Sacandaga River meanders through a valley that would later be transformed by flooding. The presence of the Gloversville and Northville RR highlights the importance of rail connections for both the local leather industry and the growing tourism trade at the turn of the century. Further south, the map reveals a decentralized economy defined by small-scale manufacturing hubs like Vail Mills, Union Mills, and Hagedorns Mills, each situated along the complex drainage network of Kennyetto Creek and its tributaries.
