WMS Map: I was noticing the NY 28 and Interstate 88 Co-currenancy today
About I was noticing the NY 28 and Interstate 88 Co-currenancy today ....
I wondered if part of Interstate 88 was the old carriageway for NY 28 but looking at this 1943 topographic map it's not. Instead they extended NY 28 down to Interstate to make it easier to access Cooperstown.
Helpful Hint: While I suggest you look on blog for a downloadable PDF Map, you should be able to print or save this map by clicking the print button on the map above.
