1901 Map of Niagara Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

The Niagara River serves as the dominant axis of this 1901 survey, delineating the international border between New York and the Dominion of Canada. This period of development is characterized by an intensive network of rail infrastructure designed to ferry tourists and power the growing industrial centers of Niagara Falls and Suspension Bridge. The intricate mapping of the Whirlpool and Foster Flats illustrates the complex topography of the gorge before modern hydroelectric diversions altered the flow.
