2018 Map of Saxtons River

About this map

Grafton and Saxtons River anchor this Windham County landscape, where the historical settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors of the Williams River and its south branch. The terrain is defined by steep ridges like Bear Hill and Bull Hill, which forced early roads and infrastructure into the river corridors. Notable engineering landmarks of the region's heritage include the Bartonsville Covered Bridge and the Kidder Covered Bridge, while the Green Mountain RR tracks trace the winding path of the water. Small hamlets and former mill sites such as Brockways Mills and Cambridgeport are documented alongside numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Burgess Cem and the Wright - Bartonsville Cem. In the northwest corner, the curiously named Popple Dungeon marks a remote upland drainage area near the Windsor County line.
