1984 Map of Townshend

Upland from the river, the terrain rises into the ridgelines of Windmill Mountain and Hickory Ridge, where smaller hamlets like Westminster West and Brookline are situated. Genealogists can trace several burial grounds, including Riverside Cem and Wiswall Cem, while local historians can identify the small former industrial clusters of Simpsonville and East Jamaica. The map also details the boundaries of the Townshend State Forest, illustrating the balance between public conservation and private land use in the Vermont hills.
