1987 Map of Jacksonville

About this map

Jacksonville sits at the heart of this Southern Vermont landscape, where the East Branch North River and the West Branch meet. The terrain is defined by significant ridges like Hogback Mountain and Mt Olga, the latter preserved within Molly Stark State Park. To the west, the massive Harriman Reservoir occupies the Deerfield River valley, contrasting with the smaller, natural water bodies that dot the highlands, such as Lake Raponda and Sadawga Lake. The 1980s settlement pattern reflects a mix of clustered village centers and dispersed upland homesteads, with local history preserved in various Cem locations. The map captures the intersection of four towns—Wilmington, Marlboro, Whitingham, and Halifax—detailing a network of brooks and improved roads that follow the contours of Stickney Hill and Blue Mountain.
