About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing the landscape between Saratoga and Washington counties. This waterway was critical to the regional economy, mirrored by the parallel path of the Champlain Canal and the functional engineering of Lock No 6. Settlements like Fort Miller and Northumberland anchor the riverbanks, while smaller communities such as Durkeetown and Jewell Corner are situated among a dense network of country roads including Stone Bridge Road and Black House Road.

Island formations like Griffin Island and Galusha Island break the river's flow, while the terrain rises sharply to the east at Bald Mountain. The map records a transition from the industrial river corridor at Thomson to the agricultural reaches of Argyle and Greenwich. Numerous small brooks, such as Snook Kill and Moses Kill, cut through the lowlands, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that shaped the early development and land use of these upstate townships.
