1966 Map of Port Leyden

About this map

The Black River and Moose River converge at Lyons Falls, anchoring a landscape of industrial hamlets and riverside settlements during the mid-1960s. This territory in the foothills of the Adirondack State Park shows a well-established network of small towns including Port Leyden and Kosterville, linked by the Penn Central railroad corridors. The presence of multiple historic religious and memorial sites, such as Gould Memorial Chapel and Fisher Mem Chapel, alongside legacy burial grounds like Wildwood Cem and Leyden Hill Cem, provides significant detail for genealogical research. To the south, the Sugar River winds past Talcottville, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the protected State Forest Preserve, where rugged terrain is marked by features like Hells Kitchen and numerous mountain brooks.
