1903 Map of Little Falls

About this map

The Mohawk River corridor serves as the industrial and transit heart of this region at the turn of the century, defined by the parallel paths of the Erie Canal and the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. The city of Little Falls anchors the southern landscape, where the river cuts through the terrain near the Herkimer Monument and the historic site of Fort Herkimer. Northward, the topography shifts toward the foothills of the Adirondacks, dotted with smaller manufacturing and agricultural centers like Dolgeville on East Canada Creek and the tannery and mill sites of Salisbury Center.
