About this map

The confluence of the Mohawk River and the Hudson River anchors this detailed study of the capital region's industrial and transport corridors. The landscape is defined by the historic waterway systems, including segments of the Old Champlain Canal and the dramatic Cohoes Falls. Highly developed urban centers like Cohoes, Waterford, and the northern reaches of Troy are shown in dense detail, surrounded by numerous historic burial grounds such as Oakwood Cem and Waterford Rural Cem.

Complex island systems at the river junction, including Peebles Island, Goat Island, and Van Schaick Island, illustrate the geographic factors that shaped local settlement and industrial power. To the west and north, the map transitions into the residential expansion of Latham and Halfmoon, while landmarks like the Lansingburgh Reservoir and Prospect Hill provide topographical context for these storied river communities.
