2013 Map of Troy North

About this map

The Hudson River and Mohawk River converge in a complex network of islands and historic waterways at the heart of this Capital District study. The landscape is defined by its industrial and navigational history, featuring the Old Champlain Canal and several significant river crossings near Waterford. To the south, the densely settled neighborhoods of Lansingburgh give way to prominent landforms like Prospect Hill and the sprawling grounds of Oakwood Cem. Numerous historic burial grounds are clustered throughout the area, including Waterford Rural Cem, Saint Michaels Cem, and Saint Josephs Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The map also details the interconnected islands of the delta, such as Van Schaick Island, Peebles Island, and Simmons Island, where early transport and water power infrastructure once thrived.
