1898 Map of Schenectady

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

The Mohawk River serves as the industrial and transportation spine of this late 19th-century landscape, flanked by the Erie Canal and a dense network of competing rail lines. The city of Schenectady is shown in significant detail, illustrating its growth as a rail hub where the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad and the Delaware and Hudson R. R. converge. Further north, the landscape transitions into a series of smaller hamlets and rural crossroads such as Jonesville, Burnt Hills, and Charlton.
