About this map

The Dog River valley serves as the central artery for this portion of the Northfield Mountains, anchoring a string of settlements from Northfield and Northfield Center to Northfield Falls and West Berlin. This landscape is particularly notable for its concentration of historic timber engineering, featuring the Northfield Falls Covered Bridge, Upper Cox Brook Covered Bridge, Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge, and the Slaughterhouse Covered Bridge all within a few miles of one another.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous burial sites throughout the townships, including the Old Catholic Cem, Elmwood Cem, and the remote Four Corners Cem. The campus of Norwich Univ occupies a significant footprint in the valley, while the surrounding high ground is marked by prominent peaks such as Chase Mtn and Bald Mtn. The road network, including Moretown Mountain Rd and Union Brook Rd, traces the narrow drainage patterns of the many brooks feeding the river system.
