1986 Map of Jamaica

About this map

Jamaica and the cluster of Wardsboro villages define this pocket of the Green Mountain National Forest during the mid-1980s. The landscape is shaped by the steep relief of College Hill and Sage Hill, with the West River carving through the eastern edge. This survey documents a community tied to the land and water, featuring the Ball Mountain Reservoir and a network of mountain brooks like Kidder Bk and Sage Hill Brook. Local life is anchored by several Cem locations and small settlements such as Wardsboro Center and West Wardsboro. The map illustrates the balance between managed wilderness and rural residency, showing the boundaries of Ball Mtn State Park alongside smaller features like the Gravel Pit near West Jamaica and the quiet waters of Forester Pond.
