2019 Map of Shushan

About this map

Batten Kill and White Cr define the hydrological character of this borderland, where the New York-Vermont state line cuts through the foothills of the Green Mountain National Forest. The settlement pattern is anchored by the historic crossings at Shushan Covered Bridge and Eagleville Covered Bridge, marking established travel corridors that have persisted through the generations. The landscape transitions from the level expanses of The Plains to the prominent heights of Sugarloaf and Dugway Mtn. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and secluded burial grounds, such as the Le Barron - Harrington Farm Cem and Rhoda Blowers Cem, which reflect the area's agricultural heritage and decentralized early settlement along hollows like Murray Hollow and McKie Hollow.
