2010 Map of Oppenheim

About this map

Saint Johnsville sits at the southern edge of this landscape, positioned along the historic transport corridor of the Mohawk River. Moving north from the river valley, the terrain rises toward the agricultural and forested uplands of Oppenheim, where the road network connects smaller settlements such as Middle Sprite and Lotville. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Middlesprite Cemetery, Saint Bridgett's Cemetery, and the Dutch Reformed Church Cemetery, which speak to the long-established family lineages of Herkimer County. Numerous waterways, including East Canada Creek and Crum Creek, drain the territory, while landmarks like Twin Church Hill and Failing Hill provide topographical variation. This 2010 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, where older homesteads and local roads like Youkers Bush Rd and Irish Settlement Rd maintain the historical footprint of early New York settlement.
