About this map

Brookfield Floating Bridge spans the waters of Sunset Lake, anchoring a cluster of historic villages and family-named hills in this central Vermont landscape. The settlement pattern remains concentrated around Brookfield, East Brookfield, and Brookfield Center, with many farm-to-market roads like Chelsea Rd and Robinson Rd connecting the upland ridges. Genealogy researchers will find numerous small burial grounds, including the Brookfield Center Old Cem and Wiggins Cem, often tucked away near stream branches like Sunset Brook.

The topography is defined by significant rises such as Annis Hill and Clark Hill, while the valley of the Second Br White River carves through the Williamstown Gulf. This corridor serves as a primary transit route, contrasting with the more secluded ponds like Rood Pond and Votters Pond found in the higher elevations. The presence of the Limehurst Lake Campground suggests a long-standing recreational use of the natural spring-fed waters that dot the terrain.
