About this map

The White River valley carves through this portion of Addison County, anchoring the settlements of Hancock and Granville. In the early 21st century, this landscape remains defined by its narrow valley corridors and the steep rise of Braintree Mountain and Hancock Mountain. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Old Village Cem, South Hollow Cem, and Elmwood Cem, which document the long-standing family lineages of these mountain hollows.

Transport and recreation are intertwined with the terrain, as seen at Camp Killooleet and the Mountain Trails Campground. The engineering of the landscape is marked by the Hancock Tunnel and a dense network of local roads such as Churchville Rd and Sky Hollow Rd. This map reflects a classic Vermont pattern of valley-floor community life bordered by high, brook-fed ridges like Old Sixty Hill and Thunder Head.
