1943 Map of Hoosick Falls

About this map

The Hoosic River and its tributary, the Walloomsac River, anchor this 1943 topographical survey of the borderlands between New York and Vermont. The dense village of Hoosick Falls stands as the primary industrial and population center, surrounded by a network of rural schoolhouses such as School No 14 and School No 16. The landscape is shaped by the presence of the Boston and Maine and Rutland railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods and people through the river valleys during this mid-century era.
