About this map

The New Haven River and Baldwin Creek converge near the settlement of Bristol, where the landscape transitions into the steep slopes of the Hogback Mountains and the Green Mountain National Forest. This 2015 record shows a well-preserved collection of rural burial grounds, such as the South Starksboro Friends Cem and the Hallock Cem, which reflect the long-standing family lineages of the Addison County area.

North of the main town, the village of Starksboro is situated along Lewis Cr, surrounded by prominent heights like East Mtn and High Knob. The presence of several distinct hamlets including Rockville, Rocky Dale, and South Starksboro demonstrates a pattern of valley-floor development constrained by the significant elevation of the Green Mountains. For genealogists, the map is a primary resource for locating small community landmarks like the Varney Cem or tracing the reaches of Pond Brook as it flows into Bristol Pond.
