1947 Map of Schuylerville

About this map

The Hudson River corridor near Schuylerville reflects a landscape deeply intertwined with early American industrial and military history. In the years following World War II, the region maintained its network of small crossroads settlements like Gansevoort, Northumberland, and Middle Falls. The transportation evolution of the valley is clearly marked by the parallel paths of the active Champlain Canal and the Old Champlain Canal (Abandoned), which once powered the local river economy. To the south, the Saratoga Monument and the Saratoga National Historical Park anchor the map, preserving the grounds of the 1777 Revolutionary War victory. Along the western edge, the Palmertown Range rises toward Mount McGregor, which hosted the New York State Veterans Hospital, while the lower lands are dotted with numerous numbered district schools and family-linked corners such as Dimmick Corners and Ballard Corners.
