2019 Map of Salisbury

About this map

Spruce Creek flows southward through a landscape of clearings and small hamlets, anchoring the geography of Herkimer County. The settlement at Salisbury Center and the neighboring village of Salisbury serve as the primary hubs, where the Salisbury Center Bridge and numerous burial grounds like Saint Bridget Cem and Salisbury Cem provide significant points of interest for local historians and genealogists. The topography is defined by distinct elevations such as Hedgehog Mtn and The Pinnacle, which overlook the Dolgeville Reservoir. Historic land use is evident in the naming of remote areas like Mexico Clearing, Murphy Clearing, and Boardinghouse Clearing, suggesting a legacy of timbering or early agricultural pockets in the Adirondack foothills. Significant local roads, including Military Rd and Jerseyfield Rd, connect these scattered clearings to more established intersections like Paper Mill Corners and Ives Hollow.
