About this map

Schenectady and its surrounding boroughs are defined by the winding course of the Mohawk River, where numerous islands such as the Isle of the Mohawks and Slyck Island segment the waterway. The 2019 landscape shows a dense urban and suburban network transitioning from the historic core, home to Union College and the First Presbyterian Church, to outlying residential areas like Niskayuna and Rotterdam. Industrial and transport heritage is evident in the rail lines feeding into South Schenectady and the prominent Crosstown Connection.

Neighborhoods like Hungry Hill, Coldbrook, and Bellevue sit atop the varied elevations south of the river, while the northern banks feature the expansive Schenectady County Airport near East Glenville. The map captures a significant concentration of local history markers, from the Schenectady County Judicial Building downtown to numerous religious sites and old burial grounds including Saint Anthony Cem and Fisher Cem.
