2018 Map of Hancock

About this map

The White River valley carves through the center of this terrain, anchoring the mountain settlements of Hancock and Granville. This landscape is defined by its numerous cemeteries and mountain gaps, with the Green Mountain National Forest covering much of the western half. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites along the valley roads, including the Village Cem, Old Village Cem, and Elmwood Cem. The geography is shaped by significant peaks and ridges like Hancock Mtn, Cobble Hill, and the Northfield Mountains. Tributaries such as Thatcher Brook and Tunnel Brook drain the steep slopes toward the river, while local routes like Post Office Hill and Town Line Rd connect the scattered homesteads. The inclusion of the Hancock Tunnel and landmarks like Thunder Head suggests a region where transportation and topography have long been intertwined.
