About this map

The Mohawk River carves through this detailed survey, defining the industrial and academic character of Schenectady and its surrounding boroughs. The landscape is a mix of dense urban grids and riverside features like Van Slyck Island and the Iroquois Peninsula. Education and community history are prominent, anchored by the historic campus of Union College and SUNY Schenectady County Community College.

Neighborhoods like Mount Pleasant, Bellevue, and Hungry Hill reveal the residential expansion of the city, while the river's islands—including the Isle of the Mohawks and Isle of the Senecas—show the geographical legacy of the region. Extensive genealogical data is present through numerous burial grounds such as Saint John the Baptist Cem and Saint George's Episcopal Church Cem. From the Schenectady County Airport in the north to the Crosstown Connection in the south, the map illustrates a major New York transportation and population hub.
