1908 Map of Goshen

About this map

The industrial and agricultural hub of Middletown serves as the focal point of this early twentieth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by an intensive network of competing rail lines. The Erie RR and the New York Ontario and Western RR intersect here, facilitating the movement of goods from the surrounding dairy and muckland farming districts. To the southeast, the village of Goshen acts as a major junction, where the railroad corridors bypass the elevations of Mt Lookout and Fort Hill.
