About this map

The granite-carved hills of Orange County define this mid-century survey, where the industry of Millstone Hill and Cobble Hill shaped the growth of specialized settlements like Websterville, Graniteville, and East Barre. These industrial clusters are contrasted by the rural landscape to the south and east, where small crossroads like Cookville, Goose Green, and Riders Corners supported a distributed farming community. The map records a dense network of local education and faith, identifying numerous country institutions such as Newman Sch, Pike Hill Sch, and Miles Sch, alongside established burial grounds like Wilson Cem and Maple Hill Cem.

High elevations dominate the center of the sheet, including the Knox Mountains and peaks like Signal Mtn and Spruce Mtn, the latter topped by a Fire Tower. Water management is evident in the Barre Dam and Orange Res, while the headwaters of the Waits River and the First Branch White River drain the high country toward the Connecticut and White River valleys. Extensive public lands, including Groton State Forest and Plainfield Jones State Forest, are clearly delineated at the map's northern edge.
