1945 Map of Jackson Summit

About this map

The Adirondack Park dominates this mid-1940s landscape, where the southern boundary of Hamilton County meets Fulton County. The rugged terrain is defined by a series of "vlys"—wetland depressions such as Moat Vly, Rocker Vly, and Round Vly—that indicate the region's complex post-glacial drainage patterns. Small, isolated settlements like Jackson Summit and Upper Benson are connected by a sparse road network, highlighting the area's rural character during the mid-twentieth century.
