1929 Map of Coxsackie

About this map

Hudson River life and the expanding water infrastructure of Albany County define this landscape surveyed in the mid-1920s. The newly constructed Alcove Reservoir and the Ravena Reservoir stand out as major topographic changes, reflecting the era's engineering efforts to secure regional water supplies. Along the river, the map documents a transition in transportation and industry, featuring the West Shore and New York Central railroads as they navigate the shoreline through settlements like New Baltimore Sta and Coxsackie. The river itself is a complex network of channels and landmarks, including Houghtaling Island and Schodack Island. Inland, the rural character is preserved through numerous numbered school districts, such as School No 7 and Butler Sch, alongside prominent natural features like Indian Ridge and Flint Mine Hill.
