About this map

Saratoga Springs centers this 1960s landscape, defined by its historic mineral springs and celebrated racing heritage. The map documents a sophisticated resort culture, featuring the Saratoga Racetrack, the Oklahoma Racetrack, and the nearby Saratoga Raceway. To the southeast, the artist colony of Yaddo sits adjacent to the sprawling Saratoga State Park, where Geyser Brook winds through the grounds. This era shows the city as a thriving educational and cultural hub, anchored by Skidmore College and the preservation of historic sites like High Rock Spring.

To the southwest, the village of Ballston Spa is detailed with its municipal core and proximity to the Ballston Spa Airport. The landscape between these two settlements is a mix of wooded terrain and small hamlets like South Greenfield and Malta Ridge. Transportation is dominated by the Delaware and Hudson railroad lines and early sections of the Interstate system, reflecting the region's transition toward modern transit while maintaining its 19th-century character.
