2016 Map of Northville

About this map

Great Sacandaga Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Fulton County region, where the Sacandaga River flows through a narrow valley past the village of Northville. The local geography is defined by water and high ground, from the wetlands of Tamarack Swamp to the elevation of Prospect Hill. Several historic burial grounds are preserved across the area, including Gifford Valley Cem, Prospect Hill Cem, and the Main Street Cem within the village. Smaller hamlets and junctions like Fish House, Carpenters Corners, and Cranberry Creek mark the periphery of the lake, illustrating the settlement pattern of the southern Adirondack foothills. Landforms such as Hampton Point and the Kenyon Islands punctuate the vast reservoir, while family-named landmarks like Sinclaire Point and Paradise Point reflect the area’s long history as a destination for seasonal residence and recreation on the water.
