About this map

The White River and its West Branch carve through the heart of this Vermont landscape, defining the valley settlements of Rochester, Taleville, and Stockbridge. Much of the western and central terrain is protected within the Green Mountain National Forest, where the topography rises sharply to peaks like Wilcox Peak and Little Wilcox Peak. The distribution of cemeteries, such as the Village Cem in Pittsfield and the Woodlawn Cem further north, suggests a long-standing pattern of small, valley-oriented communities.

Transport routes follow the water, with the Tweed River corridor providing a natural passage for roads like Lower Michigan Rd. Local history is visible in family-named features and small hamlets like Tupper, Jerusalem, and Emerson. Of particular interest to genealogists is the specific marking of the Betsy Bartlett Grave near Bartlett Brook, a rare individual burial site noted alongside larger community grounds like Maplewood Cem and Angell Cem.
