About this map

The Barton River and Willoughby River valleys define the geography of this northern Vermont landscape, where agricultural tradition and rural settlements remain centered around historic road networks. Brownington Village and Brownington Center serve as the primary hubs of the area, connected by routes like Old Stone House Rd, which hints at the region's 19th-century educational and stone-building heritage.

Genealogists will find an unusually high density of burial sites across the township, including the Brownington Village Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Saint Theresa Cem. The map captures a mix of upland terrain, such as Prospect Hill and the foothills of Barton Mountain, contrasted with the lowlands around Mud Pond. Local industry and recreation are represented by the Orleans Golf Course and the Belview Campground near the southern boundary.
