About this map

Great Sacandaga Lake dominates this 1970s landscape, illustrating the dramatic geography of northern Saratoga County. The shoreline is dotted with settlements such as Batchellerville and Edinburg, where the Edinburg Cem and Consolidated School No 1 serve as local landmarks. The area's evolution from a timber-and-tannery past to a more modern recreational and educational hub is evidenced by the presence of Adirondack Bible College on Fox Hill and the Plateau Landing Field near the lake’s western edge.

Away from the water, the terrain rises into the protected boundaries of Adirondack State Park, characterized by complex water systems like Thousand Acre Swamp, Steele Reservoir, and a series of high-elevation wetlands known as vlies, including Blodgett Vly and Ireland Vly. This map captures a network of rural roads such as Military Road and South Shore Road that link old settlements like Fayville and Glenwild through the peaks of Maxon Ridge and Bald Bluff.
