1947 Map of Albany

About this map

The city of Albany dominates the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, its dense street grid concentrated around the Capitol, Armory, and Governors Mansion. To the west, the landscape transitions into the distinct townships of Guilderland and New Scotland, where the Helderberg Mountains rise toward Wolf Hill. The era's transportation network is prominently displayed, showing the New York Central and Delaware and Hudson railroads intersecting at Voorheesville, near the significant Voorheesville Army Sub Depot logistics site.
