1953 Map of Troy South

About this map

The Hudson River serves as the central artery for this mid-century look at the industrial and educational core of eastern New York. To the east, the city of Troy rises from the riverbank, defined by institutional landmarks such as Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the sprawling campus of Emma Willard College. The map illustrates a dense concentration of religious and educational sites, including St Anthony Seminary and numerous parochial schools like St Bridget Sch, reflecting the community's mid-century social fabric.
