About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central artery and boundary between Saratoga and Washington counties, carving a path through a landscape defined by revolutionary history and river-driven industry. To the west, the Saratoga National Historical Park preserves the ground of the 1777 battlefield, including the Great Ravine and the General Fraser Burial Site. The modern landscape is further anchored by the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery, which occupies a significant portion of the river's western bluffs.

Concentrated settlements like Schuylerville and Greenwich sit where the Fish Creek and Batten Kill meet the Hudson, reflecting a long history of water power and transport. Traces of the Old Champlain Canal run parallel to the river, a quiet reminder of nineteenth-century engineering. From the volcanic heights of Starks Knob in the north to the elevations of Willard Mtn in the east, the topography transitions from fertile river bottoms to prominent ridge lines.
