About this map

Hudson River frontage defines the eastern edge of this region, where numerous islands and kills create a complex riparian environment south of Albany. The terrain transitions from the industrial and transport-oriented river corridor to the residential and agricultural uplands of Bethlehem Center and Delmar. A high concentration of burial sites, including Bethlehem Cem, Beth Emeth Cem, and Calvary Cem, speaks to the long-established communities surrounding Glenmont and Elsmere.

Transport history is visible through the positioning of South Albany Airport and the dense network of roads like Delaware Ave and Feura Bush Rd that connect the smaller hamlets. The map captures the meeting of several significant waterways, including the Vloman Kill and Normans Kill, which shaped the early development of Cedar Hill and Selkirk. These features illustrate how the landscape between Ravena and the state capital has evolved from a series of distinct farming and milling corners into a suburbanized corridor.
