1976 Map of Woodstock North

About this map

The village of Woodstock sits at the southern edge of this mid-1970s survey, where the Ottauquechee River meets the hills of central Vermont. This landscape is defined by its deep valley hollows and the network of brooks that feed them, including Barnard Brook and Broad Brook. The map details a period when the local economy transitioned from traditional hill farming to a mix of conservation and recreation, evidenced by the presence of Silver Lake State Park and the winding path of the Appalachian Trail. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds such as Old Cem, Village Cem, and Burns Cem. The road network remains grounded in the past, featuring the Woodstock Royalton Turnpike and several family-named routes like Webster Hill Road and Bartlett Brook Road that connect scattered settlements like South Pomfret and East Barnard.
