2013 Map of Salisbury

About this map

Salisbury and its surrounding hamlets occupy a landscape shaped by rural industry and historic clearings along the southern edge of the Adirondacks. Named clearings like Mexico Clearing, Murphy Clearing, and Boardinghouse Clearing point to a history of forest management and early settlement patterns north of the main village centers. The importance of local water power and industrial history is evident at Paper Mill Corners and the multiple reservoirs, including Klondike Reservoir and Dolgeville Reservoir, that manage the flow of Spruce Cr. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, ranging from the Salisbury Rural Cem to smaller family or community plots like Comstock Cem and Tuttle Cem. The map traces a network of early routes such as Military Rd and Mexico Rd, connecting disparate corners like Ives Hollow and Wood Corners to the central hub at Salisbury Center.
