About this map

Orleans and Barton anchor this portion of the Northeast Kingdom, situated along the winding course of the Barton River and its confluence with the Willoughby River. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent elevations, including Barton Mtn and Butternut Hill, which overlook a network of valley settlements. In Brownington Village, the cultural landscape is marked by the Brownington Village Cem and proximity to Prospect Hill, while further east lies the small community of Evansville.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, ranging from the Maple Street Cem and Pleasant View Cem in the village centers to more secluded locations like the Abbot Lot Cem and Heath Cem. This 2018 survey detail shows the persistent rural character of the region, where older local roads such as Old Stone House Rd and Hinman Settler Rd connect historic neighborhoods and upland farms between the watercourses of Day Brook and May Pond Brook.
