About this map

The Sacandaga River and its southern tributaries wind through this turn-of-the-century landscape, which is marked by a complex network of township and county boundaries including Hamilton, Warren, and Saratoga counties. Smaller settlements and specialized camps such as Bakertown, Hope Falls, and Wadsworth Camp are connected by a series of primitive roads, including the notable Oregon Trail cutting across the northern heights.

The presence of numerous "vlys" and swamps, such as Mosher Vly and Potter Swamp, suggests a wilderness transitioning from early timber harvesting to a burgeoning recreational role. Numerous named peaks like Spruce Mtn and Bearpen Peak tower over local landmarks such as Harrisburg West Stony Creek PO, offering a detailed view of the regional topography before the late-20th-century developments changed these Adirondack foothills.
