2024 Map of Montpelier

About this map

Montpelier serves as the focal point of this Vermont landscape, where the confluence of the Winooski River and the North Branch Winooski River has historically shaped the capital's development. The city’s institutional character is clearly defined by landmarks such as the Vermont Supreme Court and educational centers like the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Outside the urban center, the terrain is marked by smaller settlements like Shady Rill and Putnamville, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds including Tinkham Cem and the Green Mount Cem Soldiers Lot. The mapping of small water bodies like Horn of the Moon Pond and Sodom Pond reflects a rugged geography that dictated the winding paths of roads like Molly Supple Hill Rd and Government Hill Rd. This survey highlights the spatial relationship between the state's civic heart and the outlying granite-producing hamlets like Adamant, documenting a region defined by its rivers and upland ridges.
