About this map

Silver Lake State Park and the village of Barnard anchor the northwestern corner of this Windsor County landscape, where the terrain transitions into the protected highlands of the Green Mountain National Forest. This late 20th-century survey documents a network of rural settlements including East Barnard, Pomfret, South Pomfret, and Woodstock, all connected by historic thoroughfares like the Royalton Turnpike and Woodstock Stage Road. The map reveals a high concentration of genealogical data, with numerous burial sites such as Prosper Cem and Burns Cem scattered across the hillsides.

Outdoor recreation and conservation define the southern half of the quadrangle, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the ridges near Winturi Shelter. Waterways like the Ottauquechee River and Broad Brook drain the steep topography of Hawks Hill and Dana Hill, while the Vondell Reservoir and The Pogue highlight local water management. The survey captures a moment when traditional Vermont crossroads like Hewitts Corners remained distinct amidst growing forest preservation.
