1903 Map of Gloversville

About this map

Industrial Gloversville and Johnstown anchor the southern portion of this Adirondack foothills survey, showing the dense urban grids of the glove-making capital at the start of the twentieth century. The landscape to the north is defined by the high peaks of the southern mountains, including Panther Mt. and Shaker Mt., and an intricate network of lakes such as Canada Lake and Helen Gould Lake. Transportation infrastructure is highly developed for the era, featuring the F. J. and G. R. R. and a dedicated Electric R. R. connecting the primary settlements. A Battle Monument stands south of Johnstown, marking the local historical significance of the region. Moving toward the northern boundary with Hamilton County, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with narrow valleys and high ridges like the Hogback and Jackson Summit.
