About this map

The Mohawk River corridor serves as the primary artery for transport and settlement in this section of New York, where the CSX rail line and Interstate 90 parallel the water. Historically significant communities like Fultonville and Fort Hunter anchor the valley, while the village of Tribes Hill overlooks Upper Pepper Island from the northern bank. The convergence of the Schoharie Cr and the Mohawk is a focal point of civil engineering, marked by the Barge Canal Bridge and Schoharie Creek Bridge.

Genealogical interest is found in the distribution of family-named burial grounds and rural crossroads. Rural sites such as Caughnawaga Cem and the Van Epps Starin Cem near the river are supplemented by upland settlements like Glen and Church Corners. The northern portion of the map transition into the industrial and aviation landscape of the Fulton County Airport and Amsterdam Airfield, alongside recreational features like the Fox Run Golf Course.
