About this map

The Mohawk River corridor anchors this landscape, where the historic Erie Canal runs parallel to the riverbanks through Pattersonville and Rotterdam Junction. The geography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the river valley floor to Glenville Hill and the distinctive Wolf Hollow. This area serves as a rich resource for genealogical research, documenting several family-named burial grounds such as Woestina Cemetery, Vedder Cemetery, and Van Eps Cemetery near the water's edge.

Further north, the terrain shifts into an agricultural and upland character, marked by smaller crossroads like West Charlton and Green Corners. Local industry and land use are visible through features like Nightingales Maple Farm and Balnakill Farms, while aviation history is represented by the Westwind Farm Airport. Numerous kills and creeks, including Chaughtanoonda Creek and Alplaus Kill, drain the surrounding hills toward the central Mohawk valley.
