About this map

The Ompompanoosuc River winds through this corner of Orange County, defining the valley floor where settlements like Mill Village and Brimstone Corner took root. The landscape is characterized by a series of high ridges and hills, including Patterson Mtn and Colton Hill, which separate the scattered village centers. Educational sites like the Vershire Sch and Mountain Sch are prominent, reflecting the community's mid-century focus.

A network of local roads such as Algerine Road and Sawnee Bean Road connect family-named landmarks and rural outposts. To the south, the Podunk Wildlife Management Area and Camp Kokasing near Miller Pond indicate a transition toward conservation and recreation. Traces of local industry appear in the form of several sandpits near Post Mills, while the presence of the Post Mills Airport and cemeteries like Wood Cem provide key data points for local historians and genealogists.
