1954 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

Sacandaga Reservoir dominates the southeastern landscape of this mid-century survey, its shoreline reflecting the massive water management infrastructure that reshaped the Adirondack foothills. The map documents numerous small communities such as Hope Falls, Edinburg, and Knowelhurst, many of which maintain deep ties to the river valleys. Genealogists will find high value in the placement of small family and community burial grounds, including the Wadsworth Cem and the Knowelhurst (Scofield) Cem.
