2019 Map of Fort Plain

About this map

Fort Plain and Nelliston anchor the eastern edge of this landscape where Otsquago Creek meets the Mohawk River. The corridor is defined by the historic water and rail routes of the Erie Canal and Mindenville, where the Barge Canal Bridge connects the local road network across the waterway. The map reveals a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Klock Cem, Edwards Cem, and Nellis Cem, reflecting generations of settlement in the valley. Moving south from the river, the terrain rises toward agricultural hamlets like Hallsville and Freysbush. The inclusion of Nellis Field and Hickory Acres Airport underscores the region's mid-century aviation infrastructure, while smaller crossings like Bowmans Cr and Caroga Creek continue to shape the rural topography between established corners such as Brookman Corners and Keesler Corners.
