1903 Map of Harford

About this map

The Tioughnioga River valley and the rugged hills of central New York define this early twentieth-century landscape where three counties meet. Two major rail corridors anchor the regional economy: the Delaware Lackawanna and Western R.R. follows the river through Marathon, while the Lehigh Valley (Auburn Division) cuts a path through Harford and Berkshire. The map documents a dense network of upland settlements and family-named landmarks like Hunts Corners and Franks Corners before the massive shift toward reforestation in the Southern Tier.
