About this map

Underhill and its neighboring villages of Riverside and Underhill Center anchor this modern landscape at the foot of the Green Mountains. The area is defined by its deep agricultural and social roots, evidenced by a high density of small burial grounds such as the Irish Settlement Cem, Castle Cem, and Sand Hill Cem. These sites, scattered across the slopes of Hedgehog Hill and Metcalf Hill, provide a direct connection to the family lineages that settled the rugged valleys of Chittenden Co and Lamoille Co.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Browns River winding through the lowlands while numerous brooks, including Roaring Brook and Settlement Brook, drain the high ridges of Macomber Mtn. The map documents a blend of traditional land use and modern infrastructure, from the rural clusters at Cloverdale and North Underhill to the Davis Private Airport, showing how the community has evolved within its dramatic physical environment.
