About this map

Gloversville and Johnstown anchor this landscape where industrial history meets the expansive waters of Great Sacandaga Lake. The urban grid transitions through the historic neighborhoods of Kingsboro and Berkshire into a rugged upland defined by vital water management systems, including the Ayres Hill Storage Reservoir, Port Reservoir, and Rice Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with Vandenburgh Pond and Ash Pond, underscore the region's historical reliance on local water sources for its manufacturing past.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including Prospect Hill Cem, Israel Cem, and the Mount Carmel Saint Cem. Small settlements like Riceville, Hale Mills, and Progress punctuate the landscape, connected by a network of county roads and the FJ&G Rail Trl, which follows a legacy transportation corridor. From the banks of Mayfield Cr to the summit of Mountain Lake, the map documents a community deeply integrated with its surrounding hills and valleys.
