Since roads were few and were usually poorly maintained, lakes, rivers, and steams became the highways of colonial America. The Mohawk River is a natural break in the Appalachian Mountain chain that runs from Maine to Georgia. It links the Hudson River in the east with Wood Creek, Oneida Lake, the Oswego River, and Lake Ontario in the west. By carrying boats and their cargo around obstructions in these waterways or from one waterway to another, travelers could access the interior of the continent. Settlers, travelers, merchants, and soldiers traveling on the Mohawk River favored bateaux.
