About this map

Bridgewater Corners and Plymouth Notch serve as central nodes in this Windsor County landscape, where the Ottauquechee River and the Black River carve through the Green Mountains. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hills and peaks, including Bald Mtn, Morgan Peak, and Southgate Mtn, which have historically dictated the placement of mountain roads like Woodstock Rd and VT Route 100A. Small settlements such as West Bridgewater and Bridgewater Center are connected by narrow valley routes, reflecting a classic Vermont upland settlement pattern centered on river forks and gaps.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find numerous burial grounds preserved here, from the Plymouth Notch Cem near the town center to the more isolated Bridgewater Hill Cem and Toplift Cem. Water features such as Mecawee Pond, Grass Pond, and the Moores Ponds are tucked into the higher elevations, while named hollows like Hale Hollow and Pinney Hollow suggest the long-standing agricultural and residential pockets that persist in these valleys.
