About this map

The winding course of Barnard Brook and Pomfret Brook carves through the central highlands of Windsor County, connecting the small villages of Barnard, Pomfret, and South Pomfret during the mid-1960s. This survey captures a rural landscape where narrow valley roads like Stage Road and Cloudland Road follow the natural contours of the terrain, linking dispersed settlements such as East Barnard and Prosper. The Appalachian Trail traverses the southern ridges, passing near Atwood and Dana Hill, illustrating the region's long-standing role in New England backcountry recreation.

Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including the Old Cem and Village Cem near Silver Lake, and the family-associated Burns Cem. The proximity of Silver Lake State Park to the Central Sch in Barnard highlights the community's centers of social and civic life. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the Ottauquechee River at Woodstock, where Mt Tom overlooks the valley, marking the transition from the high brooks to the larger river system.
