2021 Map of Washington

About this map

Washington serves as the central hub of this Orange County upland, where the village and Washington Heights are situated among the headwaters of several Vermont drainage systems. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high points, including Mt Pleasant, Boyce Hill, and the dramatic notch at The Notch. A remarkably high density of small burial grounds is scattered across the township, suggesting a pattern of early family settlements and long-standing community centers. Genealogists can find locations for the Cheney, Bohonon, Caswell, and Clough cemeteries, many of which are tucked away on rural routes like Pepper Rd and Jail House Rd. Modern additions such as Carriers Skypark sit alongside traditional place names like Devils Den and Bear Foot Hollow, illustrating the continuity and evolution of this rural landscape into the 21st century.
