2012 Map of Vershire

About this map

The Ompompanoosuc River winds through this rural landscape of Orange County, connecting a network of traditional Vermont settlements. These villages, including Vershire, West Fairlee, and Post Mills, are tied together by winding backroads like Darling Hill Rd and Taylor Valley Rd. The terrain is defined by prominent high points such as Hawkins Mountain, Patterson Mountain, and Tug Mountain, which shape the valley communities below. Genealogists will find this 2012 survey particularly useful for its documentation of numerous burial grounds across the township. From the Spear Norris Cem in the north to the Old City Cem in the southwest, the map preserves the locations of family and municipal plots including the Smith-Mill Village Cem and the Cook-Huse Fulton Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like Whitehouse Pond and Miller Pond, anchor the contemporary geography to its long-standing local history.
