About this map

West Canada Creek anchors the southwestern corner of this mid-century landscape, where the settlement of Middleville sits at the base of Harter Hill. The terrain rises toward the north and east, transitioning into the southwestern edge of the Adirondack State Park. This region is defined by rural townships and scattered hamlets like Norway, Fairfield, and the evocative Old City.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural institutions, including the Black Creek Sch, Dairy Hill Sch, and School No 7. The landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and water features such as Big Bill Brook and Huckleberry Swamp. The presence of Sweet Cem and Hardscrabble Cem provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots in this Herkimer County interior. A Lookout Tower on Dairy Hill stands as a prominent marker over the rolling highlands between the creek and the forest.
