2019 Map of Newport

About this map

West Canada Creek carves a central path through the landscape of the Herkimer region, anchoring the settlements of Poland and Newport. This 2019 survey documents a terrain defined by high ridges and deep hollows, including the curiously named Oklahoma Gulf and Smoky Hollow. The map is particularly rich in genealogical sites, from the Welch Calvinistic Methodist Cem to the Irish Settlement, reflecting the diverse cultural threads that shaped these communities. High elevations such as Tanner Hill and Harter Hill rise above the drainage basins of Shed Brook and Ninemile Cr. The rural character of the area is maintained by an extensive network of county roads like Co Rd 187 and Co Rd 139, connecting scattered farms and historic burial grounds like Martins Corners Cem and the Bromley Cem.
