1954 Map of Pattersonville

About this map

The Mohawk River valley dominates this mid-century landscape at the intersection of Montgomery, Schenectady, and Saratoga counties. This vital corridor is crowded with the infrastructure of New York's transport history, showing the New York Central Railroad tracks running parallel to both the active Erie Canal and sections of the Erie Canal (Abandoned). The placement of small family and community burial grounds, such as Van Eps Cem and Vedder Cem, alongside the Weatherwax Cem, points to the long-standing agrarian settlement of the hills overlooking the river.
