1900 Map of Baldwinsville

About this map

Seneca River and Oswego River define the hydraulic landscape of this region, meeting at the strategic confluence of Three River Point. The industrial and agricultural development of the late 19th century is evident in the heavy concentration of infrastructure, particularly the Erie Canal as it passes through Jordan and Camillus. Multiple rail lines, including the West Shore R. R. and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western R. R., intersect the terrain, illustrating how rail superseded the canal system in importance by the turn of the century.
