2019 Map of Millers Mills

About this map

The Unadilla River and its headwaters at Unadilla Lake define the central drainage of this landscape, carving through a series of prominent elevations including Monkey Mtn and Spoon Hill. The settlement pattern is characterized by numerous historic hamlets and crossroads, such as Millers Mills, Elizabethtown, and Columbia Center. To the north, the steep descent of the Ilion Gorge drops toward the Mohawk Valley, passing Ilion Reservoir Number Two. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notable for its dense concentration of family and community burial sites, including the Brown-Young Cem, Fulmer Cem, and Edick Cem. These small cemeteries, often associated with early churches like the North Columbia Church-Cem, provide a clear map of the 19th-century family lineages that established these Herkimer and Otsego County communities.
