1942 Map of Saratoga

About this map

Skidmore College and the landmark Yaddo estate anchor the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, which reveals the dense urban grid of the City of Saratoga Springs alongside the industrial character of Ballston Spa. To the west, the landscape transitions into the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, where the Delaware and Hudson railroad winds through timbered terrain toward Corinth. The map documents a network of rural schoolhouses and small family hamlets, such as Porter Corners and Rock City Falls, that supported the local economy before post-war suburbanization. Notable cultural sites are captured here as they stood in the 1930s and early 40s, including St Clements College, the Petrified Gardens, and the Boyhaven Boy Scout Camp near Middle Grove. Natural features like Saratoga Lake and Lake Desolation define the drainage of Kayaderosseras Creek as it flows south toward the paper-mill towns.
