About this map

Mount Pleasant and the Kayaderosseras Range dominate this part of Saratoga County, where high ridges separate numerous wetlands and small valley drainages. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring unique landforms like Burnt Mill Vly, Miner Mill Vly, and Macomber Vly. These "vlies" or valley wetlands suggest a long history of water management and natural drainage patterns through the upland terrain.

Settlement is concentrated at Porter Corners in the southeast, while the interior remains sparsely populated with landmarks such as Sky Ranch and Little Lake. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including Earls Cem, Day Cem, Ballou Cem, and Hutchings Cem. The elevations reach their peak at summits like Spruce Mtn and Nick Mtn, while the Kayaderosseras Cr and its south branch wind through the lower elevations, reflecting the rural character of the Adirondack foothills.
