1898 Map of Albany

About this map

The Hudson River serves as the eastern anchor for this 1890s-era landscape, where the bustling capital city of Albany meets the rural townships of Guilderland and Bethlehem. The topography is defined by the sharp rise of the Helderberg Mountains to the west, featuring landmarks such as Countryman Hill and Wolf Hill. Between these heights and the river, a dense network of early industrial and agricultural nodes emerges, including the settlement of French Mills and the historic Shakers community.
