1953 Map of East Greenbush

About this map

The transition from riverfront commerce to suburban expansion is evident in this mid-century survey of Rensselaer County. Castleton-on-Hudson anchors the southwestern corner along the river, while the hilly interior is defined by several "Park" and "Heights" developments such as Clinton Park and Sherwood Park. The landscape is etched by a series of drainage systems including the Moordener Kill and Vlockie Kill, which carve through the terrain toward the Hudson River. This edition includes revisions from 1978, showing the maturation of the regional road network around Schodack Center and the enduring presence of local landmarks like the Red Mill Sch and Greenbush Cem. From the small Castleton-on-Hudson Airport to the industrial Power House, the map documents a community balancing its rural roots with growing connectivity to nearby Troy and Albany.
