About this map

Gloversville and Johnstown anchor this mid-1940s landscape, illustrating the industrial and residential core of Fulton County before mid-century expansion. The urban centers are defined by established civic landmarks such as the Littauer Hospital, Armory, and City Hall, while the F J & G RR corridor marks the vital rail infrastructure of the era. Surrounding the urban grid are several historically significant burial grounds, including Prospect Hill Cem and St Patricks Cem.

Transitioning from the city streets into the Adirondack State Park, the topography rises toward Bleecker and the waters of Sacandaga Res. Rural life is meticulously documented through a network of one-room schoolhouses like Hale Mills Sch and Frank Sch, along with specialized sites such as the State Fish Hatchery. This map preserves the layout of crossroads like Riceville and Dennies Crossing as they existed during the immediate post-war period.
