About this map

Washington serves as the primary hub in this central Vermont landscape, situated where the Branch meets the surrounding hills during the late 1970s. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Lyme Emery Hill and Mt Pleasant, with narrow valleys such as Hart Hollow carving through the terrain. The settlement pattern reflects a traditional New England distribution of small clusters and family-named locations, including Washington Heights and South Washington.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from the numerous burial grounds like Maple Hill Cem and Bohonon Cem to distinct crossroads such as Kennedy Corners and Riders Corner. Large tracts of the eastern portion are dedicated to the Washington State Forest and Washington Wildlife Management Area, while the First Branch White River drains the southern reaches near Devils Den.
