Rockwood is at the intersection of the Towns of Ephratah and Johnstown, on State Route 29, less than a mile south of Rockwood Lake. Apparently a cemetery a bit north east of the intersection of S.R. 10 and S.R. 29. Route 10 passes Rockwood Lake on the west side, and S.R. 10A on the east side. Rockford Lake is seven miles due south of Canada Lake An Ezra Thorp mentioned in Simm's Hist. of Schoharie County, p. 326.
