2016 Map of Sharon Springs

About this map

Sharon Springs and the surrounding borderlands of Montgomery and Schoharie Counties define this rural landscape. The area is characterized by scattered settlements and agricultural valleys, with significant water features such as Canajoharie Creek and Brimstone Cr carving through the terrain. The map reveals a dense network of country roads connecting hamlets like Ames, Mapletown, and Argusville. Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous burial grounds, including the Olmstead Cem and Ball Cem, which sit alongside family-named landmarks like Wessel Hill. Transportation and land use are further marked by the Sharon Airport and several wetland basins such as Cedar Swamp and Bear Swamp, reflecting the high-elevation plateau character of this central New York region.
