1927 Map of Albany

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

The Hudson River serves as the eastern anchor for this region, framing a landscape defined by its transition from the urban density of Albany to the dramatic limestone escarpments of the Helderberg Mountains in the west. This era reveals a complex web of transportation infrastructure, where the New York Central RR and the Delaware and Hudson RR converge near the massive Belkirk Yards. These rail corridors fostered the growth of commuter hamlets like Slingerlands, Delmar, and Elsmere, which are shown here in their early development along the rail lines.
