2024 Map of Hope Valley

About this map

Hope Valley and Wyoming anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Wood River winds through a dense network of family cemeteries and historic mill sites. The prevalence of small, named burial grounds such as the Israel Lewis Cem and the John Foster Bitgood Lot Cem reflects the deep-rooted family landholdings characteristic of this part of Washington County. To the north, the terrain rises toward Penny Hill and Bald Hill, interspersed with water bodies like Browning Mill Pond and Deep Pond. The map captures the meeting of rural hamlets like Nooseneck and Barberville with extensive conservation areas including the Mount Tom Club Wildlife Marsh. This region maintains its character as a corridor of small settlements and rugged forest, where names like Buttonwood Corner mark the intersections of a long-established road network.
