Administrative History
This was one of several regional transportation studies undertaken by the state in compliance with the U.S. Federal Aid Highways
Act of 1962. The act stated that federal aid for transportation projects in urban areas of over 50,000 people would be denied
unless the projects were based on comprehensive transportation planning developed by the state and community by July 1, 1965.
For the Capital District study, the Department of Public Works created a policy committee and contracted for aerial photographs
and base maps.
Scope and Content Note
These are 18" x 18" aerial photographs (scale 1:48,000) of Albany, Schenectady, Troy, and the Upper Hudson region taken in
April and May, 1963 for the Capital District Transportation Study. Roads, bodies of water, plots of land, buildings, and trees
are visible on these photographs.
Eight sheets done to a scale of 1:126,000 function as indexing maps. The eight sheets each contain contact prints of a number
of aerial photographs juxtaposed (as a mosaic) to give a much broader aerial view than the individual photographs.
