New York State Dept. of Transportation Map Information Unit Village/Hamlet Atlases

Alphabetical by village hamlet atlas name.

This series consists of mylar masters and paper prints of 1: 9600-scale village/hamlet planimetric atlases. The 24" x 36" atlases provide large-scale coverage (one inch represents 800 feet) of smaller New York State communities not covered by the related series of urban area maps (Record Series B1806). Portions of the Department of Transportation's 1: 24,000-scale planimetric edition maps were enlarged to produce the atlases. Each atlas includes maps of villages and hamlets for a single county or for a region encompassing two or more counties.

Additional local street names were added to the 1: 24,000-scale maps in creating the atlases in this series. Map features retained from 1: 24,000-scale maps include: roads, route identification, railroads, airfields, civil boundaries, community names, water features, and the State Plane Coordinate and New York Transverse Mercator grid systems. To improve the clarity of the village/hamlet atlases, light gray tints used to demarcate built-up areas were deleted. Likewise, only those buildings of landmark significance were included.

Item list.

In February 2002 the NYSDOT Map Information Unit was discontinued, and its staff and services transferred to the NYS Office for Technology. At that time older, non-current but archival copies of various series of maps were transferred to the Archives. The maps included in this series, series B1804 Highway Corridor Maps, and series B1806 Urban Area Maps were accessioned under RDA 20986.

There are no restrictions regarding access to or use of the material.
