1927 Map of Albany

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Selkirk Yards and the sprawling rail networks of the New York Central RR and the West Shore RR define the industrial and transit character of this region south of Albany. In the late 1920s, the landscape was a complex mix of river-front commerce along the Hudson River and established agricultural townships. The Castleton Cut-Off crosses the river over Beacon Island and Schodack Island, bypassing the congested city center for more efficient freight movement.
