About this map

The confluence of the Mohawk River and the Hudson River anchors this study of industrial and residential density in eastern New York. The landscape is defined by its complex waterway geography, featuring a series of large islands such as Peebles Island, Simmons Island, and Van Schaick Island that separate the river channels. The urban centers of Cohoes and Waterford are shown in high detail, illustrating the bridge networks and historical infrastructure like the Old Champlain Canal and Erie Canal Bridge.

Extensive cemetery grounds, including Oakwood Cemetery, Waterford Rural Cemetery, and Saint Peters Cemetery, reflect the long-established settlement patterns of Troy and Lansingburgh. To the north, the terrain shifts toward smaller communities like Halfmoon and Melrose, where the geography becomes more varied with features like Prospect Hill and the winding Deep Kill. This map is a record of a modern landscape still deeply influenced by its nineteenth-century industrial roots.
