2012 Map of West Burke

About this map

Center Pond and Newark Pond anchor the northern landscape of this corner of Caledonia County, where the topography is defined by significant elevations like McSherry Mountain and Walker Mountain. The area is characterized by a network of brooks and river branches, including the W Br Passumpsic River and E Br Passumpsic River, which carve through the terrain near small crossroads such as Newark Hollow and East Haven. Local industry and conservation are noted at the Bald Hill Hatchery, while the human history of the region is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds like Hillside Cem and Packer Cem. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern where life follows the ridges and valleys, connected by winding routes like Newark St and Burke Hollow Rd.
