1902 Map of Clyde

About this map

The transportation corridor through Central New York at the turn of the century is defined by the convergence of heavy rail and historic waterways. This 1899 survey illustrates a landscape in transition, where the Erie Canal runs parallel to the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and the West Shore R. R.. A notable section of Erie Canal (Abandoned) is visible near Meadville, showing the shifting path of this vital trade route. In the north, the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg Division connects Wolcott and Alton across a drumlin-studded terrain.
