1947 Map of Schuylerville

About this map

The Hudson River corridor near Schuylerville and Greenwich defines this post-war landscape, where the legacy of the American Revolution is preserved at Saratoga National Historical Park. The survey captures a moment of transition for local infrastructure, noting the Hudson Valley RR (Abandoned) alongside the active Greenwich and Johnsonville RR and the Champlain Canal. Settlement patterns are densely clustered in villages like Victory Mills and Gansevoort, while the upland terrain features family landmarks such as Kendrick Hill and Palmer Ridge. Cultural and public sites are well-documented, from the Saratoga Battle Monument to the New York State Veterans Hospital near Mount McGregor. For genealogists, the map is a primary resource for locating vanished rural institutions, including numerous numbered schoolhouses and family-associated crossings like Jewel Corner and Ballard Corners.
