The map
About this Troy map poster
Troy sits on the east bank of the Hudson River, just below the point where the Mohawk joins it, facing Watervliet and Green Island across the water. Its map tells a clear geographic story. A flat strip of downtown along the river is laid out on a regular grid, and to the east the land rises sharply as the streets climb onto the hill.
In the nineteenth century Troy was one of America's industrial centres. It was known for iron and for detachable shirt collars, which earned it the nickname Collar City. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, founded in 1824, occupies the hill above downtown. The city is also linked to Samuel Wilson, a local meatpacker often cited as the origin of Uncle Sam.
A Troy map poster captures the tension between river, grid and hill. The downtown blocks stay tidy and rectangular, the streets on the slopes bend to follow the terrain, and the Hudson draws a strong vertical line along the western edge. It is a map with real depth, even without any shading.

Downtown grid
The historic centre is laid out in neat rectangular blocks on flat land by the water. It is the oldest part of the city and the densest part of the map.
RPI on the hill
Rensselaer's campus sits on the hill east of downtown. Its buildings and quads form a distinct cluster above the steep streets that lead up from the river.

Why Troy
A map that means something
Troy is a city people carry with them: RPI graduates, families who have lived here for generations, newcomers drawn by the old brick downtown. A map of its streets makes a thoughtful gift for any of them, especially at graduation.
