Title
Niagara Falls, NY 1882
Description
By the 1880s Niagara Falls was a very popular tourist destination, thanks to the availability of railroad transportation to its spectacular falls. A number of viewpoints and activities are shown on the map, including a dicey-looking elevator ride down to the Cave of the Winds on Goat Island. Yet the supply of hydropower--see the canal and mills at left, and even on Green Island--meant that manufacturing also was an long-established interest. This history created a legacy post-industrial pollution most notoriously as nearby Love Canal.<br />
