1896 Map of Niagara Falls
USGS Topo · Published 1898About this map
Niagara River serves as the dominant geographic and political spine of this survey, defining the international border between the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The 1890s landscape is remarkably industrial and transit-heavy, centered on the concentration of power and movement near the falls. A complex web of rail infrastructure, including the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and the Michigan Central R. R., converges at the Suspension Bridge crossing, illustrating the era's reliance on these iron arteries for binational commerce.
