2019 Map of Oppenheim

About this map

The valley of the Mohawk River anchors the southern boundary of this region, where the town of St. Johnsville and its nearby neighbor West Saint Johnsville serve as historic hubs along the water. Moving north into the uplands, the landscape transitions into a series of smaller agricultural settlements like Oppenheim, Crum Creek, and Lotville. The terrain is defined by a network of drainages including East Canada Creek and Middle Sprite Cr that cut through the hills. For family historians, the area is notably dense with small burying grounds such as the Dutch Reformed Church Cem, Klock Cem, and Saint Bridgetts Cem, reflecting the early lineage of Herkimer, Fulton, and Montgomery counties. The presence of East Canada Lake and prominent heights like Sweet Hill illustrate the geographic character of this Central New York crossroads during the early 21st century.
