2018 Map of Benson

About this map

Lake Champlain serves as the focal point for this borderland geography, where the state lines of New York and Vermont meet along the water and the Poultney River. The village of Benson and the settlement at West Haven anchor a landscape defined by rolling hills and numerous upland water bodies like Root Pond and Inman Pond. For local historians, the distribution of burial sites is particularly noteworthy, ranging from the Old Cem and Fair View Cem near the town center to the more isolated Hackett Dam Cem and Carver Falls Cem to the south. The drainage of the Hubbardton River and Coggman Cr through the valleys suggests a long-standing agricultural and rural pattern, supported by a network of local routes such as Stage Rd and East Rd.
