About this map

The Winooski River and its major tributaries, such as the Kingsbury Branch, carve through this central Vermont landscape, defining the layout of small villages and valley roads. The village of Plainfield sits at a significant bend in the river, serving as a focal point near Goddard College. This area is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Quake Cem, Rich-Hollister Cem, and the Old West Church Cem near Bliss Pond.

Transport patterns reflect the difficult topography, with historic spans like the Martin Covered Bridge and Coburn Covered Bridge still crossing the waterways. Further north, the settlements of North Montpelier, East Calais, and Kents Corners are connected by a network of winding valley roads such as Pekin Brook Rd and Hollister Hill Rd. The map also preserves the path of an old Railroad Bed W running parallel to Cold Brook, tracing the legacy of earlier industrial transit through the hills of Washington County.
