1903 Map of Little Falls

About this map

The Mohawk River corridor serves as the industrial and transportation backbone of this central New York landscape, where the Erie Canal and multiple rail lines converge at the city of Little Falls. This survey reveals a dense network of late 19th-century infrastructure, including the West Shore R. R. and the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. following the water's edge. Historical landmarks like Fort Herkimer and the Herkimer Monument anchor the river valley's heritage. To the north, the terrain transitions into the upland settlements of Norway and Salisbury Center, punctuated by prominent heights like Barro Hill. The presence of the County House near the West Canada Creek and outlying hamlets such as Bungtown and Ingham Mills illustrates the distribution of civic life and local industry before the modern highway era.
