About this map

Peck Lake and the surrounding Adirondack foothills in Fulton County reveal a landscape defined by its reservoirs and family-named hills. The topography is anchored by heights such as Peck Hill, Clapper Hill, and Clip Hill, which overlook a network of water bodies including Mud Lake and the Canajoharie Reservoir. This area has long served as a vital water source for the industrial centers to the south, evidenced by the infrastructure of the Cold Brook Reservoir.

Settlement patterns follow the winding routes of Caya d u t t a Creek and Peck Creek, with small communities like Kecks Center and Meco serving as rural hubs. For genealogists and local researchers, the map provides precise locations for several family burial grounds, including Rhodes Cem and McBeth Cem. The southern edge of the sheet transitions into the more developed outskirts of Gloversville and Johnstown, where the Fulton County Office Building stands near the headwaters of Yost Creek.
