2018 Map of Groton

About this map

Wells River serves as the central corridor for this part of Vermont, carving through the hills to connect the village of Groton with South Ryegate. This landscape is defined by its deep local roots, visible in the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Groton Village Cem, Huckins-Caldwell Hill Cem, and the high-elevation Jefferson Hill Cem. The area around Ricker Pond and the settlement at Ricker Mills highlights the region's reliance on its waterways for early industry and community hubs. The rugged topography is punctuated by prominent peaks like Blue Mtn and Whitcher Mtn, while the boundary between Caledonia and Orange counties bisects the southern reaches of the map near the Pine Mountains.
