2015 Map of Cornwall

About this map

Otter Creek meanders through this portion of Addison County, defining the low-lying wetlands and agricultural stretches between the settlements of Cornwall and West Salisbury. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage and tributary systems, including Lemon Fair River and Bascom Brook, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and transport routes. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the township, such as Evergreen Cem and Old South Cem, many located near early crossroads. Notable landmarks such as the Station Covered Bridge and Salisbury Station highlight the historic intersection of water, road, and rail that supported the local dairy and timber economies. Distinctive landforms like Bond Island and Hollands Pasture Island emerge from the floodplains, illustrating the intricate hydrology that has shaped this Vermont valley for generations.
