2013 Map of Northville

About this map

Great Sacandaga Lake dominates this 2013 topographic study, illustrating the modern shoreline and recreational geography of the Fulton County region. The village of Northville sits at the northern terminus of the lake where the Sacandaga River enters, serving as a gateway to the Adirondack Park Preserve. Local genealogy is well-documented through several historic burial grounds, including the Main Street Cem, Prospect Hill Cem, and the more remote Gifford Valley Cem. Settlement patterns follow the water, with older communities like Cranberry Creek and Fish House positioned along the western and eastern shores. Notable landforms such as Mead Island and the Kenyon Islands punctuate the reservoir's expanse, while the Northampton Beach Campsite indicates the area's transition toward a leisure economy. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Osbourne Bridge, which connects the disparate shorelines and smaller crossroads like Carpenters Corners.
