About this map

The southern gateway to the Adirondack Park Preserve is defined by a landscape transitioning from the urban density of Johnstown and its northern neighborhood of Kingsboro into the rural lakefronts of the Mohawk Valley. This 2013 survey documents a region deeply marked by its memorial and agricultural heritage, featuring a high concentration of burial grounds including Prospect Hill Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and the Colonial Cem. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Berkshire and Hale Mills, trace the lineage of early New York tanning and glove-making centers.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Great Sacandaga Lake in the northeast and the network of municipal reservoirs such as the Ayres Hill Storage Reservoir, Rice Reservoir, and Port Reservoir. The map illustrates a developed rural fringe where family farms like Brower Farm and Skiff's Dairy Farm persist alongside the expanding residential corridors of Mayfield and Riceville.
