2016 Map of Albany

About this map

The capital city of Albany is depicted here as a dense urban and suburban landscape, defined by a complex network of highways and deep-seated institutional landmarks. Educational centers like SUNY at Albany and Siena Coll occupy large footprints on the city’s periphery, while older burial grounds such as Memorys Garden Cem and Saint Johns Cem provide historical continuity for genealogical research. The map captures the significant transit infrastructure of the region, including the Albany International Airport in the north and the Collar City Bridge crossing the Hudson River toward Rensselaer. Waterways like Normans Kill and the Krum Kill wind through the more residential southern and western sections, contrasting with the industrial corridors and rail lines managed by the CSX railroad. From the suburban reaches of Colonie to the tight-knit grid of the city center, the sheet shows the 21st-century evolution of New York's political hub.
