About this map

Bethel and Gaysville anchor this Windsor County landscape where the White River meets its tributaries. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Rochester Mtn and Vulture Mtn, with the southwestern corner protected by the Green Mountain National Forest. Settlement patterns follow the narrow river valleys, with small clusters at Lilliesville and Lympus providing a glimpse into the historic rural layout of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial sites, including the Sylvester Plot Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem near Riverside. A notable cultural landmark, the Gilead Brook Covered Bridge, spans the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map details an extensive network of traditional roads such as Camp Brook Rd and Peavine Blvd, tracing the historical transit corridors that linked these hillside communities to the river-based commerce of the valley floor.
