About this map

Oakham and the surrounding Worcester County highlands are defined by a network of hills and small glacial ponds in this modern topographical study. The landscape is dotted with generational landmarks like Brookfield Orchards and the B&B Farm Airport, while the village of Hillsville sits near the southern boundary. Significant water management features, including the Kittredge Dam Reservoir and Horse Pond Brook Reservoir, indicate the region's historical reliance on managed water resources.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, from the Oakham Center Cem and Southwest Cem to the Saint Marys Cem and Saint Joseph Cem. The area's industrial past is subtly referenced at Peg Millpond, while recreational and conservation land is preserved within Rutland State Park and the Oakham State Frst. Numerous family-named summits such as Tufts Hill, Newell Hill, and Bell Hill provide a clear sense of the local land-ownership history.
