About this map

The Saratoga National Historical Park preserves the grounds of Bemis Heights in the northern portion of this quadrangle, overlooking the winding Hudson River valley. This area, deeply rooted in Revolutionary War history, shows a landscape where old agricultural tracts meet the industrial legacy of Mechanicville. The city itself sits at the confluence of the river and the Anthony Kill, featuring a dense street grid and the visible remains of the Old Champlain Canal cutting through the center of town.

Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial grounds, including the Yellow Meeting House Cem and Saint Paul's Cem. Small settlements like Stillwater Junction, Riverside, and Willow Glen are connected by a network of county roads such as Co Rte 75 and Co Rd 76. The eastern bank of the Hudson marks the border between Saratoga, Washington, and Rensselaer counties, with the Hoosic River entering from the east near Reynolds.
