1946 Map of Thorn Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Poultney River serves as a winding natural boundary between New York and Vermont, anchoring a landscape where agricultural flats meet the rising hills of Washington and Rutland Counties. This mid-century survey, updated with 1970s land use data, highlights the established settlement at Fair Haven, where the Delaware and Hudson RR intersects with local life near St Marys Cem. The map reveals a high density of small rural institutions, from the William Miller Chapel in Low Hampton to numerous numbered schoolhouses like School No 1 and School No 2. Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered burial grounds, including Hampton Flats Cem and Sciota Cem. The transition from the valley floor at Cedar Swamp to prominent heights like Thorn Hill and Bartholomew Hill illustrates the varied terrain that shaped the region's transport routes, notably the Delaware and Hudson Turnpike.
