1946 Map of Jackson Summit

About this map

Adirondack State Park dominates this 1946 terrain, covering a landscape of high peaks and wetlands at the border of Hamilton and Fulton Counties. Small settlements like Jackson Summit and Lindsley Corners are situated along the lower elevations, while higher ground is marked by prominent features such as Ferguson Mountain and Shaker Mtn. The hydrology of the region is well-defined by numerous "vlys" or wetlands, including Lynus Vly and Round Vly, which feed into North Branch Stony Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies specific points of interest such as the Bleeker Cem and Berry Cem. The presence of the Lair Reservoir and Buttermilk Falls indicates the importance of water management and natural landmarks in this rural New York interior during the mid-1940s.
