2015 Map of Knox Mountain

About this map

Spruce Mtn and Knox Mountain anchor this high-relief Vermont landscape at the intersection of Washington, Caledonia, and Orange Counties. The 2015 topography reveals a network of high-elevation water bodies, including Noyes Pond and Pigeon Pond, which feed the various branches of the S Br Wells River and Waits River. This modern survey documents the sparse settlement pattern of the region, where family and local history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Westville Cem, Groton Road Cem, and Peake Cem. The winding path of Route 302 serves as the primary artery through the valley, connecting remote homesteads along roads like Willey Hill Rd and Signal Mountain Rd. The map illustrates how late 20th-century land use has maintained the forested character of these summits, including Burnt Mtn and Signal Mtn.
