Rather than tracing a single line, this map lays New York's railroads over its county boundaries, showing how the rail network crossed each part of the state. By 1888, trunk lines such as the New York Central and the Erie tied Manhattan, Buffalo, and the interior together. Maps of this kind helped travelers and county residents judge how far they were from a depot. Today it serves as a snapshot of how deeply the railroad had shaped New York's geography.
