About this map

The Saratoga Battlefield and the towering Battle Monument anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, marking the historic grounds where the American Revolution turned. Surveyed in 1898, the map illustrates a complex water and rail network centered on the Hudson River and the parallel Canal. Industrial activity is evident in the cluster of mill towns such as Schuylerville, Victory Mills, Clarks Mills, and Middle Falls, where the Batten Kill and Fish Creek provided essential power.

Rural life in Saratoga and Washington counties is captured through a series of hamlets and junction points, including Quaker Springs, Gansevoort, and Bacon Hill. Extensive rail infrastructure, from the Delaware and Hudson R.R. to the Electric R.R., connects the resorts of Saratoga Springs and Saratoga Lake with northern agricultural and industrial centers. From the heights of Mt. McGregor to the southern flats of Stillwater, the map details a region in its industrial prime.
