1949 Map of Herkimer

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Mohawk River and the Barge Canal corridor define the industrial and transport heart of this Mohawk Valley landscape. Centered on the village of Herkimer, the map illustrates a post-war era where traditional water-and-rail infrastructure remained vital to the regional economy. The New York Central railroad runs parallel to the waterway, connecting the bustling center of Herkimer with eastern settlements like East Herkimer and Jacksonburg. Beyond the river valley, the terrain rises into the uplands of Fairfield and Newport, where a network of rural schools and family-named landmarks such as Dillenbeck Corners and Keiths Corners reveal the mid-century social geography. Notable local institutions, including the County Home and the site of Fort Herkimer, sit near the river, while numerous rural schoolhouses like Top Notch School and Smalls Bush School are scattered across the surrounding hillsides.
