2016 Map of Voorheesville

About this map

Voorheesville and the surrounding Albany County townships are defined by the winding course of the Normans Kill and its various tributaries. This 2016 survey highlights the suburban evolution of the region, where residential corridors like Westmere and Slingerlands expand toward the dramatic rising slopes of the Helderberg Mountains in the southwest. Historical burial grounds, including Guilderland Cem, Fairview Cem, and Prospect Hill Cem, remain preserved amidst a landscape of modern subdivisions and older crossroads like Hartmans Corners. The Watervliet Reservoir serves as a central hydrological landmark, fed by the Kaikout Kill and Black Creek. The mapping of small settlements such as Meadowdale and Fullers alongside the industrial zones of Guilderland Center illustrates the varied land use of this Capital District area, from rural fringes to dense residential neighborhoods bordering the city of Albany.
