About this map

Arlington and its outlying hamlets are defined by the winding course of the Batten Kill and the high elevations of the Green Mountain National Forest. This 2018 survey documents the enduring historic landmarks of Bennington County, notably the Arlington Green Covered Bridge and the Chiselville Covered Bridge, which serve as vital crossings in a landscape of narrow hollows and steep peaks.

Settlements like West Arlington, East Arlington, and Benedict Hollow follow the lowlands, while the surrounding terrain is marked by significant summits including Grass Mtn, Spruce Peak, and West Mtn. For genealogists, the map identifies numerous small burial grounds such as Little Rhode Island Cem and Wilder Cem, often tucked away near drainage points like Warm Brook or Dry Brook. The transition from the valley floor to the protected forest land creates a distinct boundary between the active community centers and the undeveloped highlands of the Green Mountains.
