1986 Map of Glens Falls

About this map

The Hudson River and the Champlain Canal define the industrial and transport corridor through this region of the Upper Hudson Valley and New York's borderlands in the late 1980s. Centered on the industrial hub of Glens Falls, the map illustrates a landscape where the Adirondack Mountains meet the fertile valleys of the Batten Kill and Mettawee River. The urban centers of Saratoga Springs and Hudson Falls are shown alongside significant cultural sites like Skidmore College and the Saratoga National Historical Park. Transportation networks are densely marked, including the paths of the Delaware and Hudson RR and the modern Interstate 87, which parallels the older river routes. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Green Mountains of Vermont, where settlements such as Manchester Center and Arlington sit at the foot of peaks like Equinox Mountain.
