1943 Map of Utica East

About this map

The Mohawk River and the Barge Canal serve as the industrial spine of this mid-century landscape, framing the eastern expansion of Utica. This era shows a city deeply integrated with its transportation networks, where the New York Central Railroad and West Shore Railroad converge near the Canal Terminal and the sprawling Masonic Home grounds. Beyond the urban grid of Genesee Street and Broad Street, the terrain rises into the southern hills, transitioning into a rural network of family-named settlements and crossroads schools.
