About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central artery for this capital-region landscape, separating the industrial and academic corridors of South Troy and Rensselaer from the parklands and cemeteries of Menands. The eastern shore is dominated by the sprawling campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the historic downtown of Green Island, where the Village of Green Island Water Works and Starbuck Island sit at the confluence of heavy rail and river transport.

Transit history is visible through the Amtrak lines and several major spans, including the Congress Street Bridge and Patroon Island Bridge. To the west, the expansive Albany Rural Cem and Saint Agnes Cem represent significant genealogical resources. Moving inland toward the east, the terrain transitions to the suburban and rural fringes of Wynantskill and Defreestville, anchored by landmarks like Frear Park and Joseph L Bruno Stadium.
