1900 Map of Fulton

About this map

The Oswego River and the adjacent Oswego Canal form the industrial and transport backbone of this region as it appeared at the close of the nineteenth century. The bustling center of Fulton dominates the lower river valley, flanked by the residential and manufacturing district of Oswego Falls and the recreational waters of Lake Neatahwanta. This survey captures the height of the railroad era, showing a dense web of competing lines including the New York Ontario and Western R. R. and an Electric Railroad serving the shoreline corridor toward Oswego.
