2011 Map of Utica East

About this map

The Mohawk River corridor anchors this portion of Utica, where the landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of the city's eastern edge into the rolling uplands of Oneida and Herkimer Counties. In the north, the industrial character of West Frankfort and Harbor is defined by the proximity of the river and major transport lines, while the southern terrain rises sharply toward Frankfort Hill and Pinnacle Hill. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, containing numerous historic burial grounds such as Saint Peters Cemetery, Tanner Cemetery, and the Deerfield-Schuyler Cemetery. The elevation change is punctuated by the Graffenburg Reservooir and the steep descent into Frankfort Gorge. The coexistence of civic landmarks like the Captain George A Wood Post Office Building with rural airfields like Smithport Airport illustrates the post-war development pattern of the Mohawk Valley.
