1904 Map of Boonville

About this map

Boonville serves as the central hub of this northern Oneida County landscape at the beginning of the twentieth century, where the Black River Canal and the N. Y. C. and H. R. R. R. (Utica Line) converge. The map illustrates a complex water management system crucial to early New York commerce, including the Canal Feeder and the Boonville Reservoir. To the south and west, the terrain rises into prominent ridges such as Quaker Hill and Webster Hill, which hem in the winding courses of the Mohawk River and Lansing Kill.
