1945 Map of Salisbury

About this map

Spruce Creek and Spruce Lake define the central drainage of this Herkimer County landscape, where the southern boundary of the Adirondack State Park meets a cluster of upland settlements. The map documents a rural network of named intersections and hamlets including Paper Mill Corners, Burrell Corners, and Diamond Hill, which were central to local movement before modern highway expansion. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Comstock Cem and St Bridget Cem, alongside landmarks like Kelly Sch. The geography reflects the transition from the forested highlands of Hedgehog Mountain down to the industrialized water resources of the Dolgeville Reservoir and Tuttle Dam, capturing the area's mid-century reliance on its creeks and reservoirs.
