About this map

West Canada Creek carves a central path through this Herkimer County landscape, anchoring the valley floor where the villages of Poland and Newport are established. The map reveals a dense network of local cemeteries and community landmarks that reflect the area's 19th-century immigrant roots and rural heritage. Genealogists can find the Welch Calvinistic Methodist Cem and Saint Patrick's Cem near the historic Irish Settlement, while other family-named markers like Martins Corners Cem and Swezey Hill Cem are scattered across the surrounding highlands.

Steep ravines and named hollows such as Oklahoma Gulf, Smoky Hollow, and Hawthorne Gulf define the topography between the upland ridges of Buck Hill and Bell Hill. The transition from Oneida County into Herkimer County is clearly delineated as the terrain rises toward the western edge of the Adirondack foothills, with early transport corridors like Old State Rd following the natural contours of the valley.
