Broad Brook


I have been looking at the USGS topographical maps for the Ottauquechee watershed.  These show the many tributaries, large and small, named and unnamed. One of the bigger feeder streams, Broad Brook, enters the Ottauquechee just east of Bridgewater Corners.  The brook begins on the east slope of Blueberry Hill in Plymouth.  In the middle of the township, the hill forms the boundary with the Black River watershed.  The headwaters of the latter flow just other side of that hill, slowing down for a time to form the string of lakes on Rt. 100.  The Black flows to the Connecticut through Springfield.  The watersheds of the Black to the south and the White to the north frame the Ottauquechee territory.
