1898 Map of Schenectady

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

Industrial and transit networks define the late 19th-century landscape of Schenectady, where the Erie Canal and Mohawk River converge in a dense hub of commercial activity. This 1892 survey illustrates the critical intersection of water and rail, featuring the Aqueduct at Rexford Flats and a complex web of railroads including the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad and the Fitchburg Railroad. Beyond the urban core, the map traces the rural character of southern Saratoga County, marked by established settlements like Maltaville and the religious and recreational destination of Round Lake.
