2016 Map of Gansevoort

About this map

Grant Mountain and the Palmertown Range define the western landscape of this Saratoga County region, where the terrain shifts from upland ridges to the wetlands and winding waterways of the Snook Kill drainage. Modern infrastructure, including the heavy corridor of Interstate 87, intersects a deep layer of local history preserved in the placement of small rural cemeteries. Genealogists can locate several family-named burial sites such as Dimmick Cemetery and Griswold Cemetery, alongside the distinct Old Gurn Springs and New Gurn Springs cemeteries. The settlement pattern clusters around established junctions like Gansevoort, Wilton, and Fortsville, while the CP rail line cuts through the eastern half of the map. From the recreation areas at Moreau Lake to the small-craft runway at Heber Airpark, the sheet illustrates a diverse mixture of residential growth, aviation, and preserved forest land.
