1943 Map of Little Falls

About this map

Little Falls serves as a critical industrial and transit hub during the early 1940s, where the Mohawk River and the Erie Canal carve through a narrow gap in the Mohawk Valley. The city's dense grid is flanked by the New York Central railroad, illustrating the intense concentration of mid-century transport infrastructure. Nearby, the presence of an Airway Beacon on the heights south of the river signals the evolving landscape of early aviation alongside traditional rail and water routes.
