2010 Map of Ilion

About this map

The Mohawk River corridor anchors this portion of the Mohawk Valley, where industrial and agricultural history intersect. The valley floor is densely settled at Ilion, Frankfort, and Mohawk, while the surrounding uplands like Dutch Hill and Hasenclever Hill maintain a pattern of crossroads hamlets including Sheaf Corners and Johnson Corners. This landscape is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Armory Hill Cemetery and the Miller-Dutchtown Cemetery. The rugged descent of Moyer Creek through the Frankfort Gorge illustrates the dramatic terrain changes that defined local transport and industry. Notable landmarks like the Mount Olivet Company near North Frankfort provide specific points of interest within the broader network of rural roads such as Hawthorne Gulf Rd and Sterling Creek Rd.
