1898 Map of Troy
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The Hudson River serves as the industrial and transportation backbone for this Rensselaer County landscape, where the bustling streets of Troy and Watervliet give way to a dense network of suburbanizing settlements and rural townships. Surveyed in 1891, the map documents a transition in transit technology, capturing both the legacy of the Erie Canal and the expanding footprint of multiple rail systems. While the Delaware and Hudson Railroad and New York Central and Hudson River Railroad hug the riverbanks, the Troy and New England Electric Railway strikes eastward toward West Sandlake, reflecting the late-century growth of commuter links.
