About this map

The Winooski River carves a central path through this Vermont landscape, where the modern Interstate 89 corridor follows the ancient valley floor. To the northwest, the Village of Waterbury serves as a primary hub of settlement, supported by the outlying hamlets of Colbyville and Mill Village. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the riverbanks toward the peaks of the Worcester Mountains and the Northfield Mountains.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several notable burial grounds across the area, including Fairmount Cem, Middlesex Center Cem, and Hawks-Eaton Cem. The map documents the persistent rural character of Middlesex and high-elevation landmarks such as Owlshead Mtn and Densmore Mtn, illustrating how human activity remains concentrated along the historical transportation routes of the river valley while the surrounding uplands like Blush Hill and East Hill maintain their wooded, dispersed settlement patterns.
