About this map

The US Reservation Knolls Atomic Energy Plant dominates the central landscape of this Saratoga County survey, marking a significant era of nuclear research and military infrastructure. Located near West Milton, the facility is surrounded by a network of rural hamlets including Middle Grove and Rock City Falls. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Kayaderosseras Creek and Glowegee Creek, which once powered local industry and mills across the townships of Milton, Galway, and Greenfield.

Evidence of the region's development is found in the Old Railroad Grade near Milton Center and numerous gravel pits. Family names are preserved through landmarks like Hatch Bridge, Chatfield Corner, and South Galway Corner. From the Boy Scout Camp near Frink Brook to the Galway Country Club, the map captures a period of transition where traditional upstate farming and small-town crossroads exist alongside modern federal installations.
