Summary gallery: Cold River Bridge to Drury before 1930

A trip up the Mohawk Trail from the original Cold River Bridge to Drury, illustrated by postcards from the 1910s and a few from the 1920s.
These are from the earliest days of the Trail, before the surface was upgraded and concrete guardrails were added (which was completed by 1929).

Landmarks like distinctive rocks or trees are identified with letters, and culverts are marked with numbers or letters & numbers combined. Those tie to the map at the beginning of the gallery.

Most of the photographic post cards were taken when the Trail was newly constructed, within the first few years of its existence. The others may be a bit younger.

These are very large images. Recommendation: view them in "Large" size first, to read the captions, then select "Original" to zoom to full-size and see details.
