1954 Map of Round Lake

About this map

Ballston Lake and Round Lake anchor this mid-century portrait of southern Saratoga County, showing a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology and the vital corridor of the Delaware and Hudson RR. The map captures the quiet growth of Jonesville, Elnora, and Maltaville before the massive suburban expansion of later decades. An interesting military footprint is visible at the US Military Res (Malta Test Sta) near Malta Ridge, pointing to the area's role in Cold War-era technological development.
