About this map

The Mohawk River corridor anchors this 2010 survey of Montgomery County, where the historic Erie Canal runs parallel to modern transit routes between the river towns of Canajoharie and Fort Plain. This geography is defined by the narrow valley and the surrounding high ground of Maple Hill and Round Top. The settlement pattern reflects centuries of development, from the riverfront villages of Nelliston and Palatine Bridge to the older upland farming communities of Stone Arabia and East Stone Arabia.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of historic burial grounds, including Dillenback Cemetery and Sitterly Cemetery. The map also captures smaller locales like Sprakers and McKinley, as well as industrial and recreational landmarks such as Canajoharie Falls and Di Stefano Airpark. The transition from the alluvial flats of Wintergreen Flats to the northern hills at Ephratah illustrates the diverse topography of the Mohawk Valley.
