2015 Map of Groton

About this map

Wells River flows through the heart of this Vermont landscape, threading together a series of long-established settlements and upland farming areas. The village of Groton serves as a central hub, flanked by outlying communities like Ricker Mills and West Groton to the west and South Ryegate to the east. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Blue Mtn and Whitcher Mtn, while the southern reaches descend toward Scotch Hollow. Numerous family-named landmarks and historic burying grounds are preserved here, including the Huckins-Caldwell Hill Cem and Lime Kiln Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogy of the region. Water remains a defining feature, from the quiet waters of Ricker Pond and Eastman Pond to the network of brooks such as Tannery Brook and Peach Brook that drain the timbered slopes.
