1986 Map of Albany

About this map

The Lowell Mountains dominate the western portion of this Vermont landscape, creating a high-elevation barrier between the townships of Eden and Albany. Settlement is concentrated in the eastern river valleys, most notably at Craftsbury Common and the village of Craftsbury situated along the Black River. These communities are defined by their traditional New England layout, with church and post office locations marking the social hubs of the rural districts. To the north, Mill Village sits near the headwaters, while the rugged upland terrain to the west is largely preserved within the Wild Branch State Wildlife Management Area. The numerous 4WD tracks and trails winding through Eden Notch and around Mt Norris reflect a landscape used for logging and recreation, contrasting with the more established agricultural and residential patterns found in the eastern lowlands.
