About this map

Hinckley Reservoir dominates the landscape of this region on the Oneida and Herkimer county border, serving as a central geographic feature that reshaped the local topography. This 2019 survey captures the modern road network and water management systems, including the smaller Herkimer Reservoir and the winding course of West Canada Creek. The settlement pattern reflects long-established communities such as Northwood, Hinckley, and Russia, while more specific locations like Ninety Six Corners provide precise local reference points.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, including Smith Cem, Century Cem, and Gravesville Cem. The map also details numerous small waterways that feed the larger reservoir system, such as Kreskern Brook, Buttermilk Brook, and Black Creek. Higher ground is marked by features like Bailey Hills and Ninety Five Hill, which rise above the surrounding wetlands of Shepard Swamp and Tygert Swamp.
