2018 Map of Poultney

About this map

Castleton State College and Green Mtn College anchor this Rutland County landscape, which transitions from the southern shores of Lake Bomoseen at Indian Bay down through the river valleys of the Vermont-New York border. The area is exceptionally rich in genealogical landmarks, featuring numerous burial sites such as the Old Burying Ground near Castleton and the Hosford Tomb Plot further south. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the Castleton River and Poultney River, with established centers like Hydeville, East Poultney, and the border town of Hampton. Beyond the town centers, the terrain rises into named heights like Pond Hill and Graham Hill, while secluded valleys like Finel Hollow and Morse Hollow contain small family-named cemeteries including the Ward Cem and Fifield Cem.
