1953 Map of Clarksville

About this map

The Helderberg Mountains dominate the western horizon of this mid-century landscape, where rugged terrain meets the agricultural and industrial corridors of Albany County. Small crossroads settlements like Clarksville and New Salem are positioned along the winding routes through the hills, while the northern edge of the Alcove Reservoir and the waters of Lawson Lake highlight the area's importance for local water management. The southern reach of the Delmar State Game Farm reflects the conservation efforts of the era, contrasting with the active extraction seen at the Quarry and Gravel Pit near the eastern border.
