2012 Map of South Strafford

About this map

The W Br Ompompanoosuc River and its larger parent stream, the Ompompanoosuc River, anchor this landscape of eastern Vermont. In the early 2010s, this area remained defined by its small crossroads settlements and agricultural hills, including the communities of South Strafford and Union Village. The map details the rural infrastructure of the region, from the Thetford Center Covered Bridge in the northeast to the Union Village Covered Bridge further south. Local history is preserved in numerous family and settlement cemeteries, such as the Sawnee Bean Cem, Clough Cem, and Jackman Cem, which sit alongside historic road names like Pero Hill Rd and Poor Farm Rd. Names like Copperas Hill and Copper Flat hint at the area's geological and industrial past, while high points like Gile Mountain and Morrill Mountain provide the topographic structure for the many brooks that feed the Ompompanoosuc watershed.
