About this map

The confluence of the Hudson River and the Mohawk River dominates this 2016 survey, where the industrial and transport legacies of eastern New York remain clearly visible in the landscape. The Old Champlain Canal and the Erie Canal Bridge trace the historic movement of goods through Waterford and Cohoes, while the natural power of the Cohoes Falls defines the river's path. The map reveals a complex archipelago of islands including Van Schaick Island, Peebles Island, and Green Island, which have long served as hubs for both industry and recreation.

Local history and genealogy researchers can find numerous burial grounds across the three counties of Saratoga, Albany, and Rensselaer. Notable sites include the expansive Oakwood Cemetery, Saint Peters Cemetery, and the Waterford Rural Cemetery. The transition from urban centers like Troy and Lansingburgh to the suburban and rural reaches of Halfmoon and Speigletown is documented through a dense network of roads and established residential pockets.
