1966 Map of Dannemora

About this map

Clinton State Prison and the adjacent State Hospital dominate the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking the institutional heart of Dannemora. The map details the complex infrastructure of the era, including the Prison Reservoirs and multiple specialized burial grounds like the State Prison and Hospital Cem. To the south, the Saranac River carves through the valley, supporting a string of settlements including Elsinore, Cadyville, and Woods Mills. This area reflects a mid-century balance between the wild expanses of the Adirondack Park and the industrial-institutional developments along the Delaware and Hudson Road. Local educational hubs such as Saranac High Sch and Saranac Central Sch at Picketts Corners further illustrate the community's growth during this period.
