2015 Map of Readsboro

About this map

The Deerfield River and its numerous tributaries, including Wilder Brook and Number Nine Brook, define the steep topography of the southern Vermont borderlands within the Green Mountain National Forest. This 2015 update documents the settled valleys where Readsboro and Whitingham serve as hubs of local activity. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the Readsboro Village Cem near the town center to more isolated sites like the North Hill-Amidon Cem and Jewell-Wheeler Hill Cem. The vast Harriman Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape, a significant modification of the natural drainage that reshaped the region's geography. High points such as North Hill and Jarvis Hill overlook the winding courses of the West Branch Deerfield River and the S Br Deerfield River, while smaller bodies of water like Lake Clara and Sadawga Lake provide points of interest on the eastern plateau.
