About this map

Luzerne and Hadley sit at the confluence of the Hudson River and the Sacandaga Reservoir, serving as a central hub in this early 20th-century landscape. The map reveals a region defined by steep terrain and vital waterways, where the Schroon River joins the Hudson near Warrensburg. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, with small communities like Conklingville, Athol, and Stony Creek linked by roads that thread between numerous peaks such as Potash Mt and Mount Anthony.

Detailed surveying by W.H. Lovell captures the complex hydrology of the Southern Adirondacks, from the clusters of water bodies in the south like Efner Lake and Jenny Lake to the high-elevation ponds of the north. This reprint, based on 1900 field work, preserves the area's geography before significant mid-century changes, documenting the location of family-named peaks like Jeffers Mt and Gailey Hill alongside established mountain crossroads.
