1935 Map of Gansevoort

About this map

Gansevoort serves as a central hub on this 1935 survey, situated where the Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks intersect the landscape east of the Palmertown Ridge. The area is characterized by a high concentration of localized agriculture and specialized infrastructure, including the Glen Alden Trout Hatchery and the Lake George Fish Hatchery. Higher elevations to the west are dominated by the Mt McGregor Sanatorium, while the surrounding lowlands are dotted with community markers like District Sch No 3 and Ballard Corners. The geography is defined by water, from the Hudson River at the northern boundary to the winding course of the Snook Kill. Numerous small crossroads and family-named locations such as Travers Corners and Barnes Corners suggest a dense network of rural homesteads during the mid-1930s.
