Albany Pine Bush – 1893, 1940, 1956, 1984, 1994 Topo Maps and a 2013 Aerial Photo

I thought it would be interesting to get some of the same views of the Albany Pine Bush using a variety of old maps from 1893, 1940, 1956, 1984, and 1994, plus a contemporary aerial photo. The first two maps were drawn at the 1:62,500 scale while the later ones are 1:24,000.

For comparison sake, I have scaled them exactly the same — just the lower resolution maps may appear blocky or their features more crude. The latitude and longitude lines in the later maps appear to be slightly off due to a minor projection issue (most likely an incorrect earth model).
