About this map

East Fairfield Covered Bridge spans Elm Brook at the western edge of this Vermont landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and family-named ridges. The terrain transitions from the low-lying valley of The Branch toward the rising elevations of the Green Mountains in the south, where Burnt Mtn and Shattuck Mtn mark the boundary between Franklin and Lamoille Counties.

Local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds and historic hamlets dotting the hills, including West Enosburg, Bakersfield, and the high-elevation Bordoville. The map traces the winding paths of Tyler Branch and Beaver Meadow Brook, which once powered the local economy at sites like Gilberts Tannery. This 21st-century survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, from the dairy lands near Duffy Hill to the forested slopes of Butternut Ridge.
