About this map

Industrial and institutional history converge in Utica where the Erie Canal and Mohawk River flow past the city's northeast side. The 1983 landscape is defined by its deep connectivity, from the Conrail lines and Thruway to the distinct Utica Harbor. Local education and social infrastructure are prominent, evidenced by the large grounds of the Masonic Home, Mohawk Valley Community College, and numerous parochial institutions like St Agnes Sch.

South of the urban center, the terrain rises into Dutch Hill and the Frankfort Gorge, transitioning to rural hamlets and small airfields like Smithport Airfield. The map serves as a detailed record for genealogists, documenting a dense cluster of burial sites including Forest Hill Cemetery, St Marys Cem, and the Budlong Cem in Schuyler. These landmarks, alongside historic transit hubs like Union Sta, illustrate the evolution of this Mohawk Valley corridor from a canal-era gateway to a mid-century regional hub.
