Few state maps from the 1890s combine railroad lines and township boundaries on one sheet, which sets this one apart from the other rail maps on this board. By 1896 New York had one of the densest rail networks in the country, and a map showing both where the tracks ran and how the towns were laid out would have helped travelers, shippers and land buyers get their bearings. Today it serves as a snapshot of how closely the railroads and the local township grid were tied together in the state's growing economy.
