Ranges and Lot Owners of Plainfield
The five pitches of the town all lie in its south-western
corner. The remainder of the town was divided by the survey of
1793 into 9 ranges, the first range lying next to Montpelier.
Each range is 160 rods wide excepting the 9th, which is next to
Goshen Gore, and is about 90 rods wide. The first four ranges
being shortened by the pitches, contain but 6 lots each, lots
No. 1 in these ranges lying next to the pitches, their
south-western lines are irregular. No two lots in town whose
number is one, are of the same size. In range 5 they commence to
narrow, until in the 9th they come to a point at the corner of
the town. All the lots adjoining Marshfield are 110 rods wide.
Upon each lot in town; also the present owner of a part of the
same, not with the same, bounds then as now, for the farm of
Allen Martin was the last one in town, sold before 1800, that
preserved its boundaries unchanged.
