About this map

West Rutland serves as a focal point in this valley landscape where the Castleton River and Clarendon River meet the rising slopes of Herrick Mtn and Bird Mtn. The 2015 layout reveals a dense network of local cemeteries, including Saint Bridgets Cem, Saint Stanislaus Kostka Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem, reflecting the deep social and religious history of the surrounding communities. This concentration of sites, paired with the Coll of St Joseph in Center Rutland, highlights the area's development as a hub of education and faith nestled between the Taconic and Green Mountain ranges.

Further south, the landscape transitions toward the rural settlements of Ira and Chippenhook, where the terrain is marked by peaks such as Edmunds Peak and Spruce Knob. The hydrology of the region is defined by the Otter Creek and the Youngs Brook Reservoir, illustrating how water management and natural drainage patterns have historically dictated settlement along the valley floor near Clarendon Springs.
