2019 Map of Smithville Flats

About this map

Smithville Flats serves as a primary focal point in this landscape where the Genegantslet Creek valley meets a network of upland ridges. The geography is defined by a series of north-south running streams and numerous upland water bodies, including Cincinnatus Lake, Long Pond, and Round Pond. Historically significant sites for genealogists include several well-distributed burial grounds such as Maple Grove Cem, Ashcraft Cem, and the Knickerbocker Cem near the southern boundary. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern characterized by small hamlets like Lakeville and German Four Corners, connected by a grid of local roads that navigate the varying elevations of peaks like Bolster Hill and Meeker Hill. Numerous named wetlands, such as Hopkins Swamp and Brown Swamp, suggest a terrain that remains largely undeveloped and rich in natural drainage features.
