1954 Map of Burnt Hills

About this map

Charlton and Ballston Center anchor this mid-century portrait of Saratoga County, where the rural landscape was beginning to feel the influence of suburban growth. The southern portion of the map shows residential development in East Glenville and Tucker Heights, contrasting with the more traditional agricultural patterns to the north. Waterways like the Alplaus Kill and Mourning Kill cut through the terrain, with family-named landmarks such as Sweetman Cem and Smith Cem providing a genealogical record of early settlers.
