About this map

Green Mountain National Forest dominates this section of the Vermont wilderness, where high ridges and deep gaps define the landscape. The Long Trail traverses the spine of the mountains, passing landmark elevations like Bread Loaf Mtn and Battell Mtn. At the intersection of Ripton 125 and the mountain range, the small settlement of Bread Loaf sits near Widow's Clearing, serving as a gateway to the high country.

Genealogical interest is found in isolated burial grounds such as Kirby Cem and Mazham Cem, which remain tucked along the mountain slopes. The map also documents a complex hydrography, including the Middle Br Middlebury River and the source waters of the White River. Strategic passes like Middlebury Gap and Texas Gap provide the primary east-west routes through the difficult terrain, while Goshen Dam and Pleiad Lake offer significant water features within the protected forest boundaries.
