2024 Map of Barre West

About this map

Montpelier and Barre anchor this portion of the Vermont highlands, where the Winooski River and Dog River converge amidst a landscape of prominent peaks like Irish Hill and Paine Mtn. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is defined by the corridor of I-89 and VT Rte 62, which connects the regional hub of Berlin Corners to the Edward F Knapp State Airport. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial sites such as Dewey-Wright Cem, Howard Cem, and the expansive Hope Cem near the city center. The map reveals the intricate water management system of the area, including Berlin Pond and the Bolster Reservoir, which sit between the developed urban centers and the higher elevations of West Hill. These features illustrate the balance between the region's industrial heritage, represented by the Central Vermont RR, and its modern administrative role as seen at the Washington County Courthouse Criminal Division.
