About this map

Lake Groton and the upper reaches of the Winooski River anchor this 2012 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its glacial waters and granite heights. The terrain is notably punctuated by several family and local burial grounds, including the South Cabot Cem and Maple Hill Bolles Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Washington County.

Settlement patterns follow the winding routes of historical infrastructure, visible in the Railroad Bed W and Railroad Bed E that once linked these mountain hamlets. From the cluster at Peacham Corner to the lakeside community of Lakeside, the map details a region transitioning from its industrial rail past to a contemporary focus on recreation, evidenced by the numerous campgrounds like Stillwater Campground and Big Deer Campground. High points such as Marshfield Mountain and Owlshead Mountain overlook a network of brooks and ponds that have shaped the local geography for generations.
