210 Modern Business Geography mines and orchards of the Far West. To and from these regions all kinds of products are easily transported. The routes that connect New York with its hinterland. The chief route from New York runs northward up the Hudson and then west- ward along the Mohawk valley to the shores of the Great Lakes and beyond. This is much the easiest route across the Appalachian Moun- tains. It is followed by two railroads, the New York Central and the West Shore. The waterways of the navigable Hudson River and the Erie Barge Canal follow the same course. The Hudson-Mohawk route is so easy and important that it has been called the highway of the con- finent. The other routes from New York westward are not so easy, for they cross the rugged regions of northern New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and western New York. Nevertheless they are followed by three railroads : the Erie; the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western; and the New York, Ontario, and Western. Two of the main routes by which products reach New York run parallel to the coast, one going northeast to New England and the other southwest to Philadelphia and Baltimore. Much of New York’s commerce with the West passes via Philadelphia over the Pennsylvania Railroad. It is not surprising that with so great and productive a hinterland and so many ways of reaching it, New York harbor carries on more than 50 per cent of the total foreign commerce of the United States. Nor is it surprising that such great cities as Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, and Yonkers have grown up as suburbs of New York, and share most of its advantages. Other great cities and their relation to transportation. The other important ports of the United States well illustrate how cities grow up where routes from a productive hinterland reach a good harbor. In the order of their location the most important of these ports are Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Galveston. San Fran- cisco, and Seattle. Why Boston is the ‘“ hub ” of New England. Boston is on a splen- did harbor at the head of Massachusetts Bay. Its special hinterland includes nearly all parts of New England, except Connecticut. This whole region calls upon Boston to market its varied manufactures, or to furnish the raw materials needed in its industries. Since Boston has some trade with regions as far away as the Great Plains and Can- ada, it has a share in a hinterland far larger than New England; yet primarily Boston, once jokingly called the “ Hub of the Universe,” is merely the *“ hub ”’ of New England.
