2021 Map of Lower Waterford

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the prominent boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire in this topographic study, carving a path through the diverse terrain of Grafton and Caledonia counties. The settlement of Lower Waterford sits near the river's edge, supported by a network of smaller communities including West Waterford, Tinkerville, and Sunny Valley. The landscape is characterized by significant elevations such as Gardner Mtn, Chamberlin Mtn, and Signal Mtn, which overlook numerous water bodies like Partridge Lake and Ogontz Lake. This area demonstrates a long-standing rural structure where cemeteries like Lower Waterford Cem and Riverside Cem are situated alongside historic routes such as Lower Waterford Rd and Monroe Rd. The presence of Mining Hill suggests a history of local industry, while the various brooks, including Scarritt Brook and Bill Little Brook, drain the high valleys into the primary river system.
