About this map

Joes Pond sits at the heart of this landscape, its waters divided by the Washington Co and Caledonia Co boundary. This 2015 data illustrates a region defined by scattered mountain settlements and small glacial ponds. The village of West Danville acts as a gateway to the water, while the larger town of Danville occupies the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds, including the Stebbins Lot Cem and Noyesville Cem.

A network of mountain roads like Walden Mtn Rd and Stannard Mtn Rd connects higher elevation points like the Kittredge Hills to the valley settlements. The presence of Goslants Mill and its associated Goslants Mill Pond reflects the enduring reliance on local water power and small-scale industry. From the southern reach of Mollys Pond to the northern drainages of Pope Brook, the map records a classic Vermont environment of interconnected brooks and wooded hillsides.
