2018 Map of Waterbury

About this map

Waterbury and the Winooski River valley serve as the focal points for this 2018 survey of north-central Vermont. The landscape is defined by the steep rises of the Green Mountains, where the elevation climbs sharply away from the river floor toward summits like Crossett Hill. Local history is preserved in small hill settlements and rural burial grounds such as Crossett Hill Cem and the Phillips - Duxbury Hill Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Mad River valley near Moretown, where Moretown Falls marks the river's descent. Notable for genealogists, the map identifies numerous family-named roads and remote reaches like Dowsville and North Duxbury, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns in this part of Washington County. Hydrographic features, including Bolton Falls and the Light Trout Club Lake, show the importance of water resources to both the industry and recreation of the region.
