2019 Map of Gansevoort

About this map

Gansevoort and the surrounding Saratoga County landscape appear in this modern survey, highlighting a region defined by its complex network of streams and colonial-era settlement patterns. The terrain rises sharply to the west into the Palmertown Range and Grant Mtn, providing a backdrop for the numerous small communities scattered across the lower elevations. Genealogists will find exceptional detail in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, from the centralized Gansevoort Cem to more secluded locations like Griswold Cem near the northern boundary and the cluster of Gurn Springs Cem, Emersons Corners Cem, and Perry Cem near Gurn Spring. Waterways like the Snook Kill and Delegan Brook wind through a mix of wooded hills and open spaces such as Miller Swamp, illustrating the hydrological character that once powered local industry and dictated the placement of hamlets like Ballard Corners and Fortsville.
