About this map

Mount McGregor State Hospital overlooks the eastern edge of the Palmertown Range, anchoring a landscape where the upland peaks of Grant Mtn transition into the farming valleys of Wilton and Northumberland. This late-1960s survey documents the post-war modernization of Saratoga County, dominated by the sweeping curve of Interstate 87 and its connections at Interchange 17.

Away from the highway, a network of older crossroads settlements remains visible, including Gansevoort and Dimmick Corners. The map details local infrastructure such as the Ballard Sch and several family-named landmarks like Clarks Corner and Travers Corners. Natural features like Snook Kill and Moreau Lake provide context for the region's geography, while the Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks trace a path through the eastern corridor.
