About this map

Putney and the surrounding villages of West Dummerston, East Dummerston, and Dummerston Center are situated along the western banks of the Connecticut River. This terrain is deeply marked by early settlement history, evidenced by a high density of local cemeteries such as the Old North Burying Ground, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Dipping Hole West Cem. The landscape transitions from the river's Canoe Meadow and Kathan Meadows into the higher elevations of Black Mountain and Prospect Hill.

Transport and education define the local character, from the West Dummerston Covered Bridge crossing West River to the presence of Landmark College. Numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites like Naulahka and the Sacketts Brook Stone Arch Bridge reflect the enduring cultural footprint of this region. The map also traces the northern reaches of the Pleasant Valley Reservoir and the diverse stream network of Sacketts Brook and Salmon Brook feeding the river valley.
