About this map

The capital city of Albany is depicted here at the intersection of major transport corridors and historical settlements. The landscape is defined by the Hudson River and the winding course of Normans Kill as they frame the urban and suburban development of the early 21st century. Significant institutional grounds occupy large tracts of land, most notably the University at Albany, State University of New York and the sprawling Albany County Airport to the north.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Memorys Garden Cemetery, Our Lady of Angels Cemetery, and Graceland Cemetery. The transition from the industrial Port of Albany and Westerlo Island to residential pockets like Lincoln Park Homes and Loudonville illustrates the diverse land use of the region. The presence of West Shaker Farm And Greenhouses near the community of Shakers points to the area's deep-rooted agricultural and communal history even as modern infrastructure like the Adirondack Northway dominates the modern geography.
