2010 Map of Newport

About this map

West Canada Creek anchors this section of Herkimer County, winding past the village of Poland and through the center of Newport. The landscape is defined by its numerous small hamlets and namesake crossroads, such as Brayton Corners, Farrel Corner, and Walker Corners, which reflect a historical pattern of rural settlement. In the southern portion of the map, Irish Settlement and Smoky Hollow speak to the specific cultural and geographical pockets that developed around the ridges of Tanner Hill and the deep cut of Hawthorne Gulf. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cemetery and Pine Grove Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinct geological features like Oklahoma Gulf and Brown Island, while a dense network of roads like Military Rd and Old State Rd suggests the long-established transit corridors of the region.
