About this map

The Mohawk River and the legendary Erie Canal define the industrial and transit corridor between Rome and Whitesboro in this 2016 survey. The landscape is deeply tied to early American history, notably marked by the Oriskany Battle Monument and the Unknown Soldier Monument situated near the village of Oriskany. These landmarks commemorate the pivotal 1777 Revolutionary War battle, set within a terrain where Oriskany Creek and Ninemile Creek converge toward the Mohawk Valley floor.

Agricultural and residential patterns are evident in the surrounding uplands, connecting smaller settlements like Floyd, Stittville, and Holland Patent. Local genealogists will find value in the precise locations of family burial grounds, such as Townsend Cem, Floyd Cem, and Moulton Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of historical transport routes and modern infrastructure, including the Maynard Drive corridor and the industrial remnants at Colemans Mills.
