About this map

The hills and waterways of Rensselaer County define this modern survey, where suburban development meets the historical drainage basins of the Hudson River valley. Residential clusters such as Sherwood Park and Hampton Park occupy the upland areas, while the landscape is dissected by numerous waterways including the Moordener Kill and Vlockie Kill. Along the western edge, the map documents the complex shoreline environment of Papscanee Island and Pixtaway Island, separated from the mainland by Papscanee Creek.

Infrastructure is a dominant theme, with the corridor of Columbia Tpke and Interstate 90 cutting through established communities like East Greenbush and Schodack Center. Local history is anchored by the Greenbush Cem and prominent landmarks such as Teller Hill and Vandenburgh Hill. The southern portion of the map transitions into the more open spaces surrounding South Schodack and the riverfront settlement of Castleton-on-Hudson, illustrating the continued importance of the river corridor to the regional settlement pattern.
