About this map

The Mohawk River corridor serves as the primary artery through this Montgomery County landscape, connecting the neighboring villages of Canajoharie and Palatine Bridge. This central valley is defined by significant infrastructure including the Mohawk River Bridge and the Mohawk River Barge Canal Bridge, which facilitate regional transport alongside the interstate. Further north, the terrain transitions into agricultural and residential areas such as Stone Arabia and East Stone Arabia, where family histories are preserved in several scattered burial grounds like Dillenback Cem and Sitterly Cem.

Industry and utility are reflected in the presence of the Fort Plains Reservoir and aviation sites like Hop House Airpark. The map documents a blend of riverside commerce and upland farming, with distinctive geographic features like Wintergreen Flats and Round Top punctuating the hills south of the river. Numerous small creeks, including Caroga Creek and Canajoharie Creek, drain the slopes, feeding into the Mohawk and shaping the development patterns of smaller settlements like Nelliston and Sprakers.
