About this map

The Saratoga Battle Field anchors the southern portion of this 1898 survey, documenting the landscape of the upper Hudson Valley at the close of the nineteenth century. The Hudson River serves as the central artery and county boundary, paralleled by the vital Champlain Canal which supported the region's industrial growth. Significant milling and manufacturing activity is evident at settlements like Schuylerville, Victory Mills, and Thomson where the Fish Creek and Batten Kill provide water power.

Transportation networks define the era, with the Delaware and Hudson and the Fitchburg R.R. intersecting at critical junctions. Genealogists can locate smaller communities such as Gansevoort, Bacon Hill, and Quaker Springs, while the western edge reveals the resort character of the area near Saratoga Springs and Saratoga Lake. The terrain rises from the river plains to the heights of Mt. McGregor and Bald Mountain, marking the transition into the surrounding uplands.
