About this map

The Mohawk River corridor serves as the industrial and transit spine for this Mohawk Valley landscape, where the Erie Canal and Conrail rail lines parallel the waterway. The dense urban centers of Ilion, Frankfort, and Mohawk are tightly clustered along the valley floor, showing a mature infrastructure of schools like Barringer Rd Sch and public landmarks including the City Hall and Hospital.

Rising sharply from the riverbanks, the terrain transitions into the upland heights of Hasenclever Hill and Schrader Hill. These ridges are marked by numerous family-named crossroads such as Minott Corners and Johnson Corners, alongside significant rural burials at Budlong Cem and Rose Cem. The northern hills are heavily influenced by conservation efforts within the State Reforestation Area, while the valley retains its commercial character with features like the Drive-in Theaters and Fairgrounds.
