About this map

The Hudson River and Sacandaga River converge at the settlements of Hadley and Lake Luzerne in this late 1960s survey of the southeastern Adirondack Park. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Luzerne Mountains, including Cobble Mtn and Bucktail Mtn, which overlook a dense network of water bodies such as Fourth Lake, Second Lake, and Lake Vanare. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and early thoroughfares like Stage Road and River Road.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, such as the Old Methodist Cem and Leavens Cem. Local industry is evidenced by numerous Gravel Pit locations and the Gaging Sta on the river. Cultural and recreational landmarks of the era are also present, including Pine Log Camp and a Golf Course situated along the Hudson's banks, providing a look at mid-century life in Warren and Saratoga counties.
