About this map

The Ottauquechee River carves through the northern portion of this landscape, connecting the villages of Bridgewater, West Woodstock, and Woodstock. This mid-1960s snapshot shows a region defined by its narrow valleys and prominent peaks, such as Mount Peg and Old Baldy Mtn. The survey captures the integration of community life and the environment, noting the Golf Course and Woodstock Union High Sch near the village centers, while the western reaches are dominated by the Calvin Coolidge State Forest.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Mendall Cem, Shaw Cem, and Shedd Cem. Notable infrastructure like the Iron Bridge and a Covered Bridge on the river reflect the enduring transportation patterns of the Green Mountains. Further south, the map details established hamlets like South Woodstock and Reading Center along the winding course of Kedron Brook.
