Beaver Kill in Albany
Today if you went Downtown you would be hard pressed to find much of the Beaver Kill or Beaver Creek. Most of it is buried in the Big C Pipe, although they are proposing to daylight part of it in Lincoln Park during the coming years. Probably the best place to see it would be in what is now Washington Park Lake.
Data Source: 1866 Beers Map of Albany from the New York Public Library, georefrenced, traced and overlaid on a contemporary aerial photo and LIDAR hillshade.

Hillshade Of South Mountain
As natural processes go, humans are one of the most notable on how they have re-shaped the surface of the earth. Graded surfaces, such as roadways and carriageways are clearly visible on this LiDAR Hillshade along South Mountain and the Palenville Clove of the Catskills. Old carriageways, long abandoned or converted into hiking trails might not be visible on normal aerial photography, but still show up on this hillshade of the landscape. Zoom in and take a careful look at this image.
