1897 Map of Hoosick

About this map

Hoosick Falls serves as the industrial and population hub of this late-19th-century landscape, situated where the Hoosic River takes a sharp bend. The region is defined by a dense network of iron rails, including the Fitchburg R. R. and the Lebanon Springs R. R., which connect small manufacturing hamlets like Factory Hollow and Walloomsac to larger markets. This geography reveals a transition from the agricultural plains of Cambridge in the north to the more complex terrain of the south, where the Little Hoosic River carves through valleys between Bald Mountain and Moon Hill.
