About this map

Mohawk River geography and historical transit routes define this region of New York, where the river valley carves a path through the landscape of Fulton Co and Montgomery Co. This corridor includes a concentration of riverside settlements like Fonda, Fultonville, and Tribes Hill, each tied to the waterway's role in trade and travel. The presence of the Barge Canal Bridge and Schoharie Creek Bridge highlights the critical infrastructure required to navigate the confluence of Schoharie Creek and the Mohawk.

Genealogical interest is found in numerous local burial grounds, including Caughnawaga Cem, Van Epps-Starin Cem, and Pine Grove Cem. These sites, along with Fort Johnson and the shrine at Auriesville, point to deep-seated community roots and historical significance. Further inland, the map shows the transition from urban centers like Johnstown to the educational grounds of Fulton-Montgomery Community Coll and the aviation hub at Fulton County Airport.
