2016 Map of Conklingville

About this map

Great Sacandaga Lake dominates this portion of the Adirondack foothills, where the engineered landscape meets the steep elevations of the Southern Adirondacks. The hamlet of Conklingville is positioned near the dam site where the Sacandaga River exits the reservoir, a location critical to the water management history of the region. Local genealogy and land use can be traced through the Conklingville Cems and small settlements like Allentown and Overlook. The terrain is defined by numerous peaks including Canada Hill, West Mtn, and White Mtn, which frame a series of smaller water bodies such as Efner Lake, Jenny Lake, and Hunt Lake. The density of named brooks, such as Mink Brook and Bell Brook, reflects the complex drainage patterns feeding into the larger reservoir system.
