About this map

Galway Lake and its surrounding crossroads communities define this part of Saratoga County and the neighboring Fulton County border. The landscape is marked by a high density of rural cemeteries and historic hamlet identifiers like Barkersville, Mosherville, and Hagedorns Mills. These names reflect the early small-scale industrial and agricultural development of the region. The map shows a transition from the structured street plan of Galway to the scattered settlements of Whiteside Corners and Kimball Corners.

Tracing the waterways reveals a network of brooks and creeks, including Glowegee Creek and North Chuctanunda Creek, which historically powered the local mills. Significant landmarks like the Galway Airport and numerous burial grounds, such as Saint Marys Cem and Hoeseville Road Cem, provide valuable geographic markers for local history and genealogical research. The varied terrain includes prominent features like Foster Hill and Edwards Hill, which overlook the wetlands of Ludlow Swamp and Chase Vly.
