2019 Map of Oriskany

About this map

The Oriskany Battle Monument and the nearby Unknown Soldier Monument stand as prominent commemorative landmarks in this section of the Mohawk Valley. This 2019 survey documents the enduring physical legacy of the Erie Canal and the Mohawk River, which continue to dictate the placement of transportation corridors and settlements like Whitesboro and Oriskany. The map reveals a transition from the urban-industrial character of eastern Rome to the agricultural uplands where old community identifiers like Townsend Cem and Floyd Cem remain. The persistent identification of places like Colemans Mills and Holland Patent highlights the deep roots of 19th-century settlement patterns in modern-day Oneida County. Local drainage is defined by numerous waterways including Ninemile Creek and Oriskany Creek, which have historically driven the development of villages such as Stittville and Oriskany Valley.
