1954 Map of Troy North

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The confluence of the Hudson River and the Mohawk River serves as the focal point for this 1954 survey, edited in 1980. This strategic waterway junction is defined by industrial and transportation history, featuring the remains of the Old Erie Canal (Aband) and the Champlain Canal (Abandoned) alongside the Delaware and Hudson RR. The map captures the dense urban and residential footprints of Waterford, Cohoes, and Troy, showing how these cities expanded around the powerful Cohoes Falls. Notable islands like Peebles Island State Park and Van Schaick Island sit at the river intersection, while the upland areas of Halfmoon and Schaghticoke maintain a more transitional character between industrial centers and the surrounding countryside. Dozens of cemeteries, such as Waterford Rural Cem and Oakwood Cemetery, are meticulously marked, offering valuable data for genealogical research in this long-settled river valley.
