Abstract (& Historical Note)
This is one of three maps in Seneca Ray SToddard's travel guide, annexed to a guide to Lake George. The other maps are a view of Congress Park and a railroad map connecting Saratoga Springs to Montreal and New York City. All three fit on a single book page. None indicates an author.
In this city plan, a bullseye layered onto the street plan, in 1/4 mile increments, offers a striking visual presentation of Saratoga Springs that encourages people to know the distance between their hotels (in the center, at Church Street and Broadway) to outskirt destinations including Excelsior Park and Woodlawn Park.
Although the map is dated 1881, at least one advertisement indicates an 1891 date, so the work was published no earlier than 1891.
