1905 Map of Nineveh

About this map

The Susquehanna River winds through the heart of this Susquehanna Valley region at the turn of the century, serving as the primary corridor for both natural drainage and industrial transport. The early 1900s landscape is defined by the convergence of major rail lines, including the Delaware and Hudson and the Erie RR, which facilitated the growth of shipping points like Nineveh Junction and Harpursville Sta. The map documents a dense network of valley settlements from Afton in the northeast to Windsor in the south, connected by winding roads that follow the creek beds of Onaquaga Creek and Occanum Creek.
