About this map

The Winooski River and Dog River converge in the northern reaches of this landscape, defining the corridor between Montpelier and Barre. This area is a significant transportation and industrial hub for central Vermont, featuring the Central Vermont railroad lines and the Edward F Knapp State Airport. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Paine Mtn and Irish Hill, while the central valley contains the expansive Berlin Pond.

Genealogists will find a wealth of recorded burial sites throughout the townships, including Saint Monica Cem, Hope Cem, and the Johnson-Sawyer Cem. Smaller historic clusters like Berlin Corners and South Barre represent the residential growth around these major Vermont centers. The map also captures the transition from the city streets of Montpelier to the rural hillsides of Williamstown, documenting the placement of numerous family-named landmarks and local roads like the Widow Moses Trl.
