1947 Map of Saratoga

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Ballston Spa and the surrounding Saratoga County landscape appear here in mid-century detail, centered on the complex social and industrial geography of the region. The map captures the specialized layout of the Saratoga Reservation and the famous Saratoga Track, illustrating the area's long-standing identity as a destination for health and sport. Beyond the resort center, the terrain is defined by the Kayaderosseras and Hudson River drainage, where small industrial nodes like Rock City Falls and Factory Village were established. The presence of the County Home and Skidmore College reflects the institutional development of the era, while the Delaware And Hudson railroad provides the backbone for the local economy. In the more secluded western reaches, landmarks such as Lake Desolation and various camps suggest a shift toward recreational forestry and leisure in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.
