About this map

The Mohawk River corridor and the industrial hub of Schenectady dominate this late 19th-century survey. The landscape is defined by the vital transit routes of the era, notably the Erie Canal winding alongside the river and a dense network of competing rail lines, including the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad and the Delaware and Hudson R. R. This infrastructure supported the expansion of settlements like Scotia, Rexford Flats, and Niskayuna.
