About this map

The Hudson River defines the industrial and geographic character of this region, separating the core of West Glens Falls and South Glens Falls. The river's historical role in transportation is underscored by the Glens Falls Feeder Canal, which runs parallel to the bank near Pruyns Island. Residential development is dense in the valley, with neighborhoods like Pruyn Crest, Pine Valley, and Gregory Manor expanding toward the southern slopes of French Mountain and Palmertown Mountain.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the large Glens Falls Cem, Friends Cem, and Saint Marys Cem. The map also documents mid-century cultural landmarks such as the Glen Twin Drive-In and recreation at Paradise Beach on Glen Lake. To the west, the landscape shifts toward protected terrain within the Adirondack Park Preserve, where several reservoirs like Keenan Intake Reservoir and Butler Storage Reservoir manage the local water supply.
