About this map

The Mohawk River and Erie Canal define the industrial and transport corridor through this section of Herkimer County, where the valley floor transitions into the elevated terrain of Beech Hill and Hasenclever Hill. The densely developed village of Ilion serves as a focal point, flanked by Frankfort and Mohawk along the water. The landscape is a mix of urban street grids and agricultural peripheries, including named operations like Salamone Farms and Clapsaddle Farm.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the valley and hillsides, from Armory Hill Cem in Ilion to the more isolated Budlong Cem and Rose Cem. Navigation infrastructure is prominent, with Lock 19 and the Moss Road Bridge facilitating movement across the historical waterways that once drove the region's economy. Smaller crossroads like Minott Corners and Corrado Corners provide a look at the enduring rural settlement patterns outside the primary river towns.
