1945 Map of Lassellsville

About this map

The Adirondack Park border defines the northern half of this landscape, where the southern foothills of the mountains meet the farming communities of Fulton County. Settlement patterns follow the winding course of Caroga Creek and Garoga Creek, which provided the water power for early industry at sites like Glasgow Mills. The map documents a network of rural crossroads and hamlets, including Lassellsville, Scotchbrush, and Rockwood, during the mid-1940s. These small communities are anchored by local institutions such as School No 2 and the Miles School, alongside family-named landmarks like Dempster Corners and Fical Corners. Numerous small burial grounds, including Micheal Cem and Christman Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant primary source data for genealogical research in the townships of Oppenheim and Stratford.
