The town of Clifton Park is located in the southern part of Saratoga County along the Mohawk River. It is bounded on the east by the town of Half Moon, on the northeast by the town of Malta, and on the northwest by the town of Ballston. The populatio of Clifton Park in 1865 was 2712.

This map is on page 19 of the Atlas. There are separate insets for the more built up parts of town, namely for Clifton Park Village, Jonesville, Rexford Flats, and Vischers Ferry.

Transcription of the names on the map. A transcription of the names is useful for two reasons. First, sometimes the words are not too easy to read on the scanned map. Second, you can search the transcription of names, then find the name on the map.

Most of Clifton Park is composed of the Clifton Park Patent, the central part of town. At the far south is Canistagajoni. Apple Patent is in the west starting from Rexford Flats and going to the northeast. In the northwest and north of town is part of the Fifth Allotment, and in the northeast is apparently part of the Saratoga Patent (or perhaps it's more of the Fifth Allotment).
