1898 Map of Cohoes

About this map

Bemis Heights Saratoga Battlefield marks the northern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by the convergence of the Hudson River, Mohawk River, and a dense network of nineteenth-century infrastructure. The industrial and transit corridor is highly developed, featuring the Erie Canal and Champlain Canal alongside major rail lines like the Delaware and Hudson R R and the Fitchburg R R. At the heart of this activity lies Cohoes and Waterford, where the dramatic Cohoes Falls and islands such as Van Schaick Id highlight the complex river geography that fueled early manufacturing.
