Vernon and its surrounding villages sit at a crossroads of industrial history and natural water resources in this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by the Hockanum River and the Tankerhoosen River, which historically powered local mills. Settlements such as Talcottville, Lydallville, and Quarryville are well-documented, showing the persistent residential clusters of the region. Significant water bodies like Shenipsit Lake and Bolton Lake anchor the topography, while numerous family and community burial grounds, including Elmwood Cem and Saint Bernards Cem, provide essential data for genealogical research. The mapping also highlights the modern transit corridor of I-84, cutting through the valley north of Risley Reservoir and Box Hill.
