About this map

The Hoosic River serves as the primary corridor for settlement and industry across this landscape, winding through the established villages of Schaghticoke, Valley Falls, and Johnsonville. These river-bound communities are connected by significant infrastructure, including the Schaghticoke Bridge and the Hoosic River Bridge. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of the river valley to the heights of Beadle Hill and Schaghticoke Hill, reflecting the complex topography of the region where Saratoga, Washington, and Rensselaer counties meet.

In the northwest corner, the Old Champlain Canal runs parallel to the Hudson River, marking a legacy of 19th-century transport alongside the Saratoga National Historical Park. Small hamlets like Barkers Grove and Crandall Corners dot the northern reaches, while genealogists will find several burial sites including Elmwood Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Brownell Cem. The map also captures the local aviation history at the Sherwood Farm Airport near Millertown.
