1968 Map of Gansevoort

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Palmerton Range and Hudson River define the northwestern corner of this 1968 landscape, where Saratoga County transitions from forested slopes to agricultural plains. Public health and recreation are prominent markers of the era, seen in the expansive Mount McGregor State Hospital complex and the development of Moreau Lake State Park. Local transportation is in a state of modernization as the newly constructed Interchange 16 and Interchange 17 connect the region to broader commerce, while the older Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks still follow the valley floor. Small hamlets like Gansevoort and Wilton remain centers of community life, supported by neighborhood institutions such as the Ballard Sch and numerous family-named junctions like Dimmick Corners and Travers Corners. The map also captures mid-century leisure and industry, from the Drive-in Theater near Fortsville to the various sand and gravel pits dotting the Snook Kill basin.
