About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a dominant path through the Southern Tier, serving as the industrial and transportation corridor for early 20th-century New York. Along its banks, the Erie R. R. and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western R. R. connect manufacturing centers like Endicott and Union, while an Electric R. R. provides local transit. In the north, the Lehigh Valley R. R. follows Owego Creek through Newark Valley, highlighting the era's reliance on rail for moving timber and agricultural goods.
