About this map

West Canada Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this pocket of the Adirondack foothills, where small settlements like Ohio and Gray persist amidst a landscape heavily shaped by water and elevation. The topography is marked by distinctive rises such as Breezy Knoll and Bull Hill, while the hydrography is characterized by numerous small lakes and ponds, including Figert Lake, Curtis Lake, and Lake Tamarack. The map reveals a high density of small family or community burial grounds, such as McIntosh Cem, Ohio Cem, and Brondstatter Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage in Herkimer County.

Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with routes like Ash Creek Rd and Harvey Bridge Rd connecting dispersed homesteads to central landmarks like the Kermizian Airport. The presence of features like Little York Vly and Thorp Vly indicates the characteristic wetland basins found throughout this region, showing how the natural environment dictated the layout of 21st-century infrastructure and land use.
