About this map

The Mohawk River serves as the industrial and logistical spine of this region, anchored by the burgeoning city of Schenectady. This 1890s-era landscape reveals an intricate transport network where the Erie Canal runs parallel to heavy rail lines like the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad and the Fitchburg Railroad. The convergence of these routes near the Aqueduct and Rexford Flats highlights the era's reliance on water and rail for commerce.
