About this map

The suburban and rural landscape of Rensselaer County is defined by its transition from the Hudson River waterfront to the rolling uplands. The village of Castleton-on-Hudson anchors the southwestern riverbank, while the growing residential clusters of Hampton Manor and Clinton Park dominate the northwestern corner. Central to this map is the community of East Greenbush, where the modern transportation corridor of the Interstate-90 interchange at Schodack Center reshapes the historical agricultural patterns.

Tracing the waterways provides insight into the area's development, with several notable "kills" or creeks, such as the Moordener Kill and Muitzes Kill, winding through the terrain. Evidence of the region’s long-standing communities can be found at the Greenbush Cemetery and the outlying hamlets of East Schodack and Brookview. Small-scale infrastructure like the Castleton-on-Hudson Airport and specialized sites like the Pine Haven Motor Home Park reflect the varied land use of this New York corridor.
