1897 Map of Hoosick

About this map

Hoosick Falls serves as the industrial and population anchor of this region, situated where the Hoosic River turns north. The landscape is defined by the narrow river valleys and the complex rail network of the late 19th century, including the Fitchburg R. R. and the Lebanon Springs R. R. which connect small manufacturing and farming hubs. In the highlands to the south, numerous small bodies of water like White Lily Pond and Shaver Pond surround the settlement of Grafton, while the northern border with Vermont is marked by specialized hamlets like White Creek Sta and Sodom.
