About this map

Peck Lake and the surrounding Adirondack foothills are defined by a network of reservoirs and rural hamlets in this 2013 survey. The landscape supports a mix of agriculture and recreation, anchored by Rogers Family Orchards and the East Caroga Lake Camping Area. Small settlements like Kecks Center, Cork, and Meco are connected by a grid of long-established country roads, including Old State Rd and Red Schoolhouse Rd.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, such as Rhodes Cem, McBeth Cem, and Boshart Cem. The area's water management is evident in the presence of the Canajoharie Reservoir and Cork Center Reservoir, which sit among prominent local heights like Erkenbrack Hill and Clapper Hill. This topography illustrates how local water resources were developed to serve the larger region while maintaining the character of the small upstate crossroads like Smiths Corners and Eppie Corners.
