1898 Map of Troy

About this map

The Hudson River corridor near Troy serves as the industrial and transportation anchor for this late nineteenth-century survey. While the western edge is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Erie Canal and the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, the interior transitions into a landscape of small mill villages and glacial lakes. The presence of the Troy and New England Electric Railway cutting through North Greenbush toward Averill Park illustrates the era's expanding suburban connectivity and the rise of the region's resort culture at Sand Lake and Glass Lake.
