About this map

The Williams River and Saxtons River define the settlement patterns of this Vermont landscape, where narrow valleys have long dictated the placement of towns and transit routes. Villages such as Grafton, Cambridgeport, and Bartonsville are linked by winding roads like the Green Mountain Tpke and VT Route 103 S. The region’s architectural heritage is highlighted by several structures, including the Bartonsville Covered Bridge and the Kidder Covered Bridge, which cross the primary waterways.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of burial sites, from the centrally located Village Cem to the family-linked Worralls Covered Bridge Williams River-Wright Cem. The terrain is characterized by prominent heights like Bull Hill and Bear Hill, which overlook smaller hamlets such as Brockways Mills and Pleasant Valley. This survey captures the area’s enduring rural character, preserved through its network of old turnpikes and scattered hilltop cemeteries.
