1903 Map of Little Falls

About this map

The Mohawk River corridor serves as the industrial and transportation heart of this Herkimer County region at the turn of the century. The city of Little Falls is densely mapped along the river's edge, where the Erie Canal, the Barge Canal, and competing rail lines like the New York Central and Hudson River and the West Shore railroads converge. This concentrated infrastructure highlights the Mohawk Valley's role as a primary gateway between the Atlantic and the Great Lakes.
