1954 Map of Harrisburg

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Sacandaga Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this 1954 survey, reflecting a transformed river valley in the Adirondacks. To the north, the terrain rises into the southern Adirondack mountains, where deep-woods settlements like Bakertown and Griffin sit along the winding East Branch Sacandaga River. The map provides a detailed view of several family-named burial sites, including the Knowelhurst (Scofield) Cem and Van Dusen Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local families. Transport in the higher elevations is defined by a network of paths such as the Old Military Road and various jeep trails, while the southern communities of Edinburg and Day Center are more established along the reservoir's edge. The rugged geography is further detailed by landmarks like Auger Falls and the isolated Wilcox Lake, showing a region where small-scale industry and mountain life met the engineering of the new reservoir.
