2024 Map of Vershire

About this map

The Ompompanoosuc River winds through this section of Orange County, anchoring a landscape of scattered high-elevation settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Vershire and its outlying clusters, including Vershire Heights, Vershire Center, and South Vershire, reflect a traditional Vermont pattern of upland farming and small-scale industry. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, from the Spear - Norris Cem in the northwest to the Krook Meadow Cem near West Fairlee. The terrain is defined by prominent overlooks such as Goodhue Ledge and Eagle Ledge, while the southern reaches feature the vanished-town character of Old City and its proximity to Old City Brook. This contemporary survey preserves the names of historical crossroads like Brimstone Corner and the transition into the Post Mills area, providing a detailed record of modern land use superimposed over a century of local history.
