2021 Map of Orleans

About this map

Brownington Village and Orleans anchor this modern survey of the Vermont landscape, where the confluence of the Willoughby River and the Barton River shaped early development and industry. The map captures a high density of rural burial sites essential for genealogical research, including the Maple Street Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and the Brownington Village Cem near the historic crossroads. Higher elevations like Barton Mtn and Prospect Hill overlook the valleys, while small settlements such as Evansville and Brownington Center remain connected by a network of local routes like Old Stone House Rd. This 2021 update by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the enduring footprint of these communities, where name-bearing landmarks like Abbot Lot Cem and Saint Theresa Cem reflect generations of local settlement patterns.
