About this map

Jamaica State Park and the surrounding river valleys of Windham County define this landscape along the W River. The 2012 topography shows a decentralized network of historic villages including Jamaica, Wardsboro, Wardsboro Center, West Wardsboro, and South Wardsboro. These settlements are linked by winding routes like W Jamaica Rd and Pikes Falls Rd, following the natural contours of the Green Mountains.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous family-named and community burial grounds, such as the Robinson Dalewood Cem, Wilder Cem, and the Seventh Day Adventist Church Cem near Pikes Falls. The presence of landmarks like The Pinnacle, College Hill, and Little Ball Mountain overlooking the Salmon Hole illustrates the elevation changes that shaped the development of these Vermont towns. From the secluded hamlet of Podunk in the southwest to the recreational area of the state park, the map preserves the exact layout of roads and waterways as they existed in the early 21st century.
