About this map

The manufacturing hub of Gloversville anchors this map of Fulton County, showing the dense street grid and industrial footprint of a city once synonymous with the American glove-making industry. The landscape transitions from the urban centers of Gloversville and Johnstown to the northern Adirondack foothills, where numerous reservoirs and lakes like Mountain Lake and Rice Reservoir dominate the higher elevations. This transition highlights the historical reliance on local water sources for industrial power and municipal supply.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records preserved across the terrain, from large municipal sites like Prospect Hill Cemetery to smaller denominational and family grounds including Israel Cemetery, Saint Anthonys Cemetery, and Mount Carmel Cemetery. Further east, the map details the western edge of Great Sacandaga Lake and several outlying hamlets such as Broadalbin Junction, Dennies Crossing, and West Perth, providing a clear view of the rural-to-urban interface in the early 21st century.
