2016 Map of Stratford

About this map

Stratford sits at the heart of this landscape where the Herkimer and Fulton County line divides the terrain. The settlement pattern here is closely tied to the water, with the significant corridor of East Canada Creek winding through the center, joined by tributaries like Ayers Cr and Stony Brook. To the north, the elevation rises toward Oak Mtn and Bear Hill, while the remote northern reaches contain water bodies such as Knapp Reservoir and Stony Brook Lake. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burying grounds, including Stratford Cem, Roundtop Cem near the eponymous Roundtop hill, and Smith Cem further south. The map traces a network of rural roads that once supported local industry, evidenced by names like Perkins Mill Rd and Bingham Mill Rd, linking small clusters of homes at Emmonsburg and Knappville.
