2018 Map of Rochester

About this map

The White River and Tweed River valleys serve as the primary corridors for settlement and transit through this portion of the Green Mountain National Forest. While the high peaks like Wilcox Peak and Rogers Peak dominate the topography, the human history is etched along the riverbanks and mountain roads. In the village of Pittsfield, the Village Cem and a nearby Barn Dance label indicate centers of community life, while the secluded Betsy Bartlett Grave near Stockbridge provides a specific point of interest for local genealogists. Evidence of early industry remains at Swan's Mill on Wing Brook. The map captures a landscape defined by small clusters such as Taleville, Emerson, and Jerusalem, connected by a network of named trails and forest roads like the Martel Meadow Trl and Fusters Trail.
