2015 Map of Brandon

About this map

Otter Creek and the Neshobe River converge near the settlement of Brandon, forming a central valley flanked by the rising peaks of the Green Mountain National Forest. This 2015 update reflects the enduring landscape of northern Rutland County, where the village of Forest Dale sits at the foot of Lead Mine Mtn and Birch Hill. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting numerous small burial grounds such as the Gilbert-Cook-Goodrow Cem and the June Cem. Historical transportation patterns are preserved in the naming of local landmarks like Sanderson Bridge and Dean Bridge, while the upland eastern reaches toward Goshen and Sugar Hollow show the topographical transition into the steeper terrain of Chaffee Mtn and Oak Hill. The presence of Fern Lake and Lake Dunmore to the north further defines this region as one shaped by its diverse water bodies and glacial mountain geography.
