2021 Map of Randolph

About this map

Randolph serves as the central hub of this Green Mountain landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways including Thayer Brook and the Third Branch White River. The settlement pattern reflects the rugged interior of Orange County, where small villages like West Braintree, East Braintree, and Peth are connected by a network of winding roads such as Braintree Hill Rd and Peth Rd. The area is characterized by high terrain like Deer Mtn and Oak Hill, with numerous small cemeteries marking the historical family footprints across the hills. Researchers will find a high concentration of burial sites including Old Church Cem, Roswell Ford Cem, and the Braintree Hill Cem, each tied to the early upland farming communities. The transition from the valley floor to the surrounding heights like Hebard Hill illustrates the classic Vermont land use of concentrated village commerce surrounded by dispersed hillside homesteads.
