About this map

Chelsea and North Tunbridge occupy a landscape defined by the winding course of the First Branch White River, where historical river crossings remain a central part of the regional identity. The presence of multiple preservation-worthy structures, including the Moxley Covered Bridge, Flint Covered Bridge, Larkin Covered Bridge, and Mill Covered Bridge, indicates a long-standing commitment to maintaining the architectural heritage of these Vermont valleys.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial grounds, many associated with early family names or specific roads, such as the Old Meeting House Cem, Norris-Davis Cem, and the Blaisdell - Laird - Laird Cem. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward high points like Brocklebank Hill and Kelsey Mountain, with the W Br Ompompanoosuc River cutting through the eastern hills. This area preserves a traditional New England settlement pattern of clustered villages separated by high ridges and small ponds like Keyser Pond.
