2015 Map of Stamford

About this map

Stamford and the Village of Alpenwald are central to this landscape in the Green Mountain National Forest. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Hoosac Range and the Stamford and Woodford Plateau, with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding through the western ridges near Scrub Hill. The drainage patterns are complex, featuring the N Br Hoosic River flowing south and several branches of the West Branch Deerfield River carving through the mountains to the north. For genealogists and local historians, the Houghton Cem near Henry Hill and the established settlement of Heartwellville provide specific points of reference for tracing family roots in this corner of Bennington County. Local roads such as Old Co Rd and Maltese Rd suggest older thoroughfares connecting these mountain communities.
