2018 Map of West Burke

About this map

West Burke sits at the southwestern corner of this Vermont landscape, where the Sutton River and the W Br Passumpsic River converge. The topography is defined by the high ridges of McSherry Mtn and Packer Mtn, sheltering a series of glacial ponds including Newark Pond and Center Pond. Small settlements and family farms are scattered throughout the valleys, with Newark Hollow and Hartwellville serving as focal points for rural life. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, such as Hillside Cem and Packer Cem, often located near early road networks like Maple Ridge Rd. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the E Br Passumpsic River corridor, which carves through the terrain past East Haven, illustrating the importance of these waterways to the region's historical development and settlement patterns.
