1946 Map of Lassellsville

About this map

Lassellsville and the surrounding township boundaries of Stratford, Oppenheim, and Ephratah are captured in this mid-century Army Map Service study. The landscape is defined by the transition from agricultural valley land to the southern reaches of Adirondack State Park, with numerous small family-named settlements like Scotchbush and Bradtville scattered along the creek beds. Water management is a primary feature of the local infrastructure, evidenced by the St Johnsville Reservoir and the Fort Plain Reservoir. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of historical burial grounds, including the Micheal Cem, Dillaborough Cem, and Christman Cem. The local economy of the era is marked by industrial remnants like Glasgow Mills and the hydrological power of Caroga Creek, providing a clear look at Fulton County's rural development before modern highway expansion.
