About this map

The boundary between Saratoga and Schenectady counties divides this landscape of suburban expansion and deep-rooted agricultural hamlets. The settlement of Burnt Hills serves as a primary hub, characterized by community landmarks like the Calvary Episcopal Church. To the south and west, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Alplaus Kill and Indian Kill, which once powered local industry.

Genealogists can find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds, including the Jeremiah Smith Cem and Hubbell Cem, as well as the long-standing religious center at Glenville Center Methodist Episcopal Church. The transition from old road intersections like Harmony Corners and Holbrook Corners to modern residential developments such as Harmon Park and Wheeler Estates illustrates the 21st-century evolution of these New York townships.
