About this map

The Sacandaga Reservoir dominates the southeastern quadrant of this mid-century survey, illustrating the managed water landscape where the Sacandaga River meets the border of Hamilton, Warren, Saratoga, and Fulton counties. Small mountain settlements such as Griffin, Hope Falls, and Tenantville are connected by narrow roads that wind through a terrain punctuated by family-named peaks and wetlands like Steve Bigle Mtn, Gene Edwards Mountain, and Murphy Vly.

Genealogists will find notable burial sites including Scofield Cem, Wadsworth Cem, and Edinburg Cem, providing clues to the area's early residents and vanished homesteads. The map traces the rugged drainage of Stony Creek and the East Branch Sacandaga River, documenting a transition from the wilder Adirondack peaks in the north to the more developed lakeside communities in the south, including Maple Grove and West Day.
