1978 Map of Delmar

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Hudson River corridor south of Albany defines this orthophotoquad, which captures the suburban and industrial expansion of Albany County in the late 1970s. The aerial imagery provides a direct look at the rail infrastructure and transport hubs near Selkirk and South Albany, revealing the complex track layouts and yards that supported the region's freight economy. Moving inland from the riverbank, the landscape shifts into the residential clusters of Delmar and Bethlehem Center, where post-war housing developments meet older agricultural fields. Natural drainages like Vloman Kill and Onesquethaw Creek cut through the terrain, while the river's eastern shore shows the riverfront character of Castleton-on-Hudson. This map is particularly useful for researchers studying the mid-century evolution of the capital region's transit and settlement patterns.
