1898 Map of Albany

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

The growing capital city of Albany anchors this 1891 survey, situated at the busy intersection of the Hudson River and a dense network of major rail lines. The landscape reveals the industrial and transportation footprint of the late nineteenth century, dominated by the New York Central and Hudson River R.R. and the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. To the west and south, the terrain transitions from the lowlands of the Hudson to the prominent elevations of Countryman Hill and Wolf Hill, where smaller settlements like New Scotland and New Salem maintain a rural character.
