1920 Map of Long Eddy

About this map

The Delaware River serves as the winding boundary between New York and Pennsylvania in this 1920 survey, where the river's path dictates the placement of early rail lines and river-front settlements. The Erie RR follows the southern bank through Equinunk and Long Eddy, while the New York Ontario and Western RR services the northern uplands and valley of the Beaver Kill. This era reveals a landscape deeply organized by local education and industry, evidenced by the high density of rural schoolhouses such as Priceville School, Tyler Wood School, and Gould School, alongside the Buckingham Factory near the river bend.
