About this map

Hinckley Reservoir dominates this landscape, its expansive waters submerging the valley where W Canada Cr once flowed unimpeded. The surrounding terrain is marked by a network of small settlements and crossroad hamlets, including Northwood, Ninety Six Corners, and Grant, which sit along the northern and eastern shores. To the south, the village of Russia and the neighboring Gravesville are situated near the banks of Mill Cr, reflecting the region's historic reliance on local watercourses.

Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Smith Cem and Century Cem positioned near the rural transition from Elm Flats to the higher elevations of Sand Hill. The intricate system of brooks and creeks, from Beaver Meadow Cr to Fox Brook, illustrates a watershed that has historically supported both agriculture and early mill operations, while more modern infrastructure is evidenced by the nearby Herkimer Reservoir.
