2012 Map of Stamford

About this map

Stamford serves as the primary hub in this corner of Bennington County, where the valley of the N Br Hoosic River meets the rising elevations of the Stamford and Woodford Plateau. The landscape is defined by its recreation and seasonal settlements, from the residential Village of Alpenwald to remote outposts like Congdon Camp and Yaw Brook Cabin. High-elevation features such as Prospect Mountain and Dutch Hill are home to dedicated recreation sites, specifically the Prospect Mountain Winter Sports Area and the Dutch Hill Winter Sports Area. Genealogists may find interest in the Houghton Cem located near the town center, while topographical features like Houghton Mountain and Spruce Hill mark the transition toward the deerfield river drainages. The map reveals a network of mountain streams, including Crazy John Stream and Roaring Brook, which feed into the Hoosic and Deerfield systems.
