About this map

Little Falls anchors this industrial and riverine landscape, where the Mohawk River and the historic Erie Canal carve through the narrow valley. The map reveals a dense network of transportation and early settlement, tracing the transition from the riverbanks up to the heights of Top Notch. Rural life is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Fink-Van Valkenburgh Cem and Walrath Cem, alongside enduring landmarks like the Herkimer Homestead.

To the north, Dolgeville and Ingham Mills demonstrate the historical reliance on water power from East Canada Creek and Spruce Creek. The convergence of Herkimer, Fulton, and Montgomery counties near Ingham Mills Station highlights the map's role in documenting regional boundaries. Significant religious sites, including the Yellow Church and the Indian Castle Church, serve as focal points for local history and genealogy.
