1925 Map of Troy
USGS Topo · Published 1925About this map
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute overlooks the industrial activity of Troy along the riverfront, where the New York Central and Boston and Albany railroads converge. This mid-1920s topography highlights a transition from the urban density of Watervliet and Maplewood to the mill villages and lakes of the interior. Numerous cemeteries, including Albany Rural Cemetery and St Agnes Cemetery, indicate long-standing community centers. To the east, the terrain becomes more varied around Averill Park and Glass House, populated by a series of recreation sites like Totem Lodge and YMCA Camp. The survey records a landscape of numbered school districts and scattered rural junctions like Sliters Corners and Couse Corners, reflecting the agricultural and social organization of Rensselaer County before major post-war development altered these township patterns.
