1895 Map of Syracuse
USGS Topo · Published 1895About this map
The industrial and transport hub of Syracuse anchors this late-19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the convergence of the Erie Canal and the Oswego Canal. North of the city, the extensive Salt Sheds along the shores of Onondaga Lake speak to the region's historic salt industry, while the State Fair Grounds occupy a prominent position to the west. The map captures the dense network of competing rail lines, including the West Shore R. R. and the N. Y. C. and H. R. R. R., which fueled the city's growth.
