Below is a listing of online GIS maps for Putney, Vermont. Nearly all of these maps were created by the Windham Regional Commission under the direction of, or with the assistance of, Putney's residents, commission members, and town hall staff. The Planning Commission and Conservation Commission have been instrumental in creating these maps. This listing does not include all maps available in paper format. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader (available free for download at Adobe's web site, www.adobe.com) to view and/or print the maps in PDF format.

Wetland Maps (produced by Windham Regional Commission) - NEW!!!
In 2008, the Putney Conservation Commission began working with the WRC to create a series of wetland maps for the town. These maps show wetlands both from National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and Vermont Significant Wetlands Inventory (VSWI) maps. The Putney maps do not replace the VSWI maps (they are not official, regulatory documents), but instead supplement those maps by showing, in many cases, wetlands more accurately, and by showing some wetlands that do not appear on the VSWI. The Conservation Commission is interested in working with the public to add additional, previously unmapped wetlands to these maps.
