1902 Map of Weedsport

About this map

Seneca River meanders through a landscape defined by New York's early industrial and transport networks, as recorded in this turn-of-the-century survey. The southern half of the map is dominated by a complex system of waterways, featuring the Erie Canal and the Barge Canal passing through Port Byron and Weedsport. This corridor served as a vital commercial artery, supported by the Canal Basin at Montezuma and an extensive rail network including the West Shore RR and the New York Central and Hudson River RR.
