1953 Map of Ravena
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Hudson River commerce and transportation dominate this 1950s landscape, where the New York Central railroad runs parallel to the water's edge and the then-new New York State Thruway cuts through the western uplands. This survey documents the river towns of Coeymans, Ravena, and New Baltimore at a moment of significant infrastructure expansion. Genealogists will find notable detail in the small family and local burial grounds like Waldron Cem, Lish Homestead Cem, and Firwood Cem. The geography is defined by a series of significant river islands including Houghtaling Island and Schodack Island, while local industry and rural life are represented by features such as Deans Mill, the Aquetuck Sch, and the Coxsackie Lighthouse.
