1954 Map of Niskayuna

About this map

The Mohawk River serves as the central artery for this mid-century landscape, marking the convergence of Saratoga, Schenectady, and Albany Counties. The map reveals the intricate layering of New York's transportation history, where the modern Erie Canal runs alongside sections of the Old Erie Canal (Abandoned) near Vischer Ferry. To the north, the rapid post-war growth of Clifton Park is evident through the development of the Shenendehowa Central Sch and the complex interchange at Clifton Park Center.
