2018 Map of Washington

About this map

Washington serves as the central hub for this Orange County landscape, where the town’s namesake heights and the rural settlement of South Washington are connected by a network of hollows and family-named roads. The topography is defined by significant ridges like Mt Pleasant and Michigan Hill, carved by watercourses such as the First Br White River and Cookville Brook. For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family burial sites, documenting names like Cheney Cem, Caswell Cem, and Bohonon Cem across the high country. The modern infrastructure of Carriers Skypark and Firehouse Ln contrasts with older landmarks like the Devils Den and Hart Hollow, illustrating a landscape that maintains its rural agricultural character while adapting to contemporary needs. Roads like Poor Farm Rd hint at the historical civic functions that once structured this Vermont community.
