2016 Map of Utica East

About this map

The Erie Canal and Mohawk River dominate the northern landscape of this region, serving as the historical industrial corridor for Utica and its neighboring hamlets. The terrain rises sharply south of the river valley toward Pinnacle Hill, where a complex network of water management features like Graffenburg Reservoir and Starch Factory Cr define the drainage patterns. This transition from the urban density of the Masonic Home and Mohawk Valley Community College-Utica Branch to the rural uplands of Norwich Corners reveals a distinct divide between the manufacturing valley and the agricultural hills. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Norwich Corners Cem and Frankfort Hill Cem, are scattered across the southern ridges, marking the long-established family settlements of the area.
