2016 Map of Thorn Hill

About this map

Fair Haven and the surrounding borderlands of Washington Co and Rutland Co define this landscape where the Poultney River snakes between New York and Vermont. The map reveals a dense concentration of early burial grounds that speak to the long settlement history of the region, including Old North Half Cem and Old South Half Cem near the northern villages. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Hampton Hill and Ore Bed Hill, the latter suggesting the area's mineral history. To the south, the Mettawee River and Castle Creek drain a complex network of wetlands and ponds, including Hills Pond and Crystal Lake. Small hamlets like Low Hampton, East Whitehall, and Hampton are connected by a web of local routes like Wade Rd and Co Rd 11, reflecting the agricultural and rural character of this interstate valley.
