About this map

Remsen and the surrounding Oneida County landscape at the turn of the century are defined by an intricate network of early railroads and hydraulic engineering. The Black River Canal and its feeder system connect the Black River at Forestport, supporting a local economy tied to water power and transportation. Key rail lines, including the Adirondack Division and the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg R. R., converge in this region, facilitating the movement of goods from industrial sites like Bardwell Mill and Reeds Mill. The topography transitions from the dramatic elevation of Starr Hill and Myers Hill down to the productive river valleys. Small settlements such as Hinckley, Prospect, and Trenton Falls highlight the community structure of the era, where proximity to rail sidings like Anos Siding and established watercourses was vital for both commerce and travel across the Oneida Co. Herkimer Co. border.
