About this map

The Lake Ontario shoreline and its interconnected rail networks define this late 19th-century survey of northern New York. At the heart of the map, the Salmon River flows through the village of Pulaski, a significant regional hub where several rail lines converge. The transportation landscape is dominated by the Ogdensburg and Watertown R. R., which links rural settlements like Richland and Mannsville to the larger corridor.

Along the coast, a maritime economy is evident near Selkirk and Port Ontario, supported by a Life Saving Station positioned between the expansive North Pond and the lake. Inland, the terrain is marked by the glacial influences of the Lorraine and Boylston uplands, where small hamlets such as Pierrepont Manor and Skinner are situated among a complex system of waterways including Lindsey Creek and Deer Creek. This map captures the region at a peak of rail-driven commerce before the widespread shift to modern highway transit.
