1954 Map of Troy North

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Industrial and transport networks converge where the Mohawk River meets the Hudson River north of Albany. This mid-century survey documents the dense urban centers of Cohoes and Troy, showing the riverfront footprints of Green Island and Lansingburgh before later urban renewal. The landscape is defined by its water management and power history, from the natural drop of Cohoes Falls to the engineering of Crescent Dam. Significant genealogical detail is preserved through the mapping of extensive burial grounds like Oakwood Cemetery and St Agnes Cem. The rail-centered economy of the 1950s is evident in the corridors of the Delaware and Hudson RR and Boston and Maine RR, which serve the clustered settlements of Waterford and Halfmoon. Smaller residential pockets like Pleasantdale and Speigletown highlight the suburban growth extending into the hills of Brunswick.
