1945 Map of Lassellsville

About this map

Lassellsville and the surrounding township of Ephratah sit at the southern doorstep of the Adirondack Park in this 1940s-era survey. The map reveals a landscape defined by its transitional character between the mountainous north and the rolling hills of the Fulton and Montgomery County border. Local infrastructure of the mid-20th century is well-documented, featuring rural landmarks like Miles School, Shaver School, and the St Johnsville Reservoir. Smaller settlements such as Glasgow Mills and Newkirk are situated along the upper reaches of the Caroga Creek, while the southwestern corner transitions toward the settlements of St. Johnsville and Palatine. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying specific family-named locations such as Fical Corners, Scotchbush, and Sponable, along with local burial grounds like Christman Cem and the Rural Cem.
