About this map

The Saratoga National Historical Park and the nearby Saratoga Battle Monument anchor this 1940s landscape, illustrating a region deeply shaped by Revolutionary War history. The Hudson River serves as the primary artery, paralleled by the Champlain Canal and rail lines like the Greenwich and Johnsonville and the Schuylerville Branch. Industrial and agricultural activity is evident in the cluster of settlements such as Victory Mills, Thomson, and Middle Falls along the Batten Kill.

Local resource management is prominently featured through the Fernwood Trout Hatchery and Fortsville Fish Hatchery in the north. The survey also captures social infrastructure of the era, including the New York State Veterans Hospital on Mount McGregor and dozens of numbered rural schoolhouses, such as School No 5 and School No 12, which serve the outlying farmsteads near Quaker Springs and Bacon Hill.
