USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The Hudson River serves as the eastern anchor of this late nineteenth-century landscape, where the bustling city of Albany transitions into the agricultural and industrial towns of Colonie, Guilderland, and Bethlehem. The topography reveals a complex network of waterways like the Normans Kill and Oniskethau Creek carving through the terrain towards the river valley. Notable social and industrial nodes include the settlement of Shakers in the north and French Mills to the west, reflecting the era's diverse communal and manufacturing footprints.
