About this map

Roxbury and South Northfield anchor the northern reaches of this central Vermont landscape, where the headwaters of the Dog River begin their northward journey. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Messier Hill, Drinkwater Hill, and the significant elevation of Cram Hill. This high country serves as a triple-county meeting point for Washington, Orange, and Addison counties, a geographic intersection that has shaped local property lines and road networks for generations.

Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds scattered across the hills, from the centrally located Orcutt Cem to the First Settler Cem near the eastern boundary. The presence of the Stony Brook Covered Bridge over Stony Brook highlights the traditional infrastructure that persists alongside modern thoroughfares like Roxbury Rd and Main St. Small settlements like East Roxbury and West Brookfield remain connected by winding mountain roads that follow the contours of Brookfield Gulf and the banks of Ayers Brook.
