1997 Map of Edinburg

About this map

Great Sacandaga Lake dominates this portion of the Adirondack State Park, where the waters of the Sacandaga River are held back by the Conklingville Dam downstream. The settlement of Edinburg sits along the western shore, connected to Batchellerville by a prominent bridge crossing the reservoir’s narrow midpoint. This landscape represents the mid-century stabilization of the Sacandaga Valley, showing the integration of recreation and rural residence decades after the valley was flooded. Local history is preserved in sites like Consolidated School No 1 and the Edinburg Cem, while the interior terrain is defined by numerous peat-heavy lowlands known locally as vlys, including Blodgett Vly and Ireland Vly. Farther south, the town of Providence contains the Steele Reservoir and several small, family-named landmarks like Brooks Cem and the Glenwild settlement near Hans Creek.
