About this map

Van Hornesville and the surrounding rural uplands of Herkimer and Montgomery Counties are defined by a network of winding creeks and family-named corners. In the southern portion of the map, Otsquago Creek flows toward Starkville, while Ohisa Creek and Nowadaga Creek carve through the north, passing settlements like Newville. The landscape is dotted with small, historically significant burying grounds, including Garlock Cemetery, Haupt Cemetery, and Hawn Cemetery, which anchor the various farming communities and family homesteads.

Elevations rise at Fiery Hill and Wiltse Hill, overlooking a web of secondary roads such as Fords Bush Rd and Lighthall Rd. These routes connect small clusters of houses at Smith Corners, Cramer Corners, and Wiltse Four Corners, illustrating the enduring agricultural settlement patterns that characterize this part of New York. Near the southern border, the Pumpkin Hook Cemetery sits along Pumpkin Hook Rd, a name evocative of the region's local heritage.
