About this map

The State Capitol stands as the centerpiece of this mid-century topographic record, which documents the post-war expansion of New York's capital. The landscape reveals a dense urban core transitioning into rapidly developing suburbs like Colonie and Loudonville. Major institutional landmarks, such as the Ann Lee Home and the State Office Building Campus, are prominent alongside dozens of numbered public schools, reflecting the city's civic infrastructure during this era.

Transport networks are a defining feature, showing the intersection of heavy rail lines like the Conrail and Delaware and Hudson RR with the growing interstate system. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the Normans Kill, where the terrain drops toward the Port of Albany. Local recreation and social history are captured at sites like the Shaker Ridge Country Club and the Albany Municipal Golf Course, while the Albany County Airport occupies the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
