About this map

The Green Mountain National Forest dominates this 1970 Vermont survey, where high-elevation landmarks and recreation infrastructure define the land use. The Middlebury College Snow Bowl sits near Middlebury Gap, marking the intersection of educational history and mountain sport. Along the ridgeline, the Long Trail traverses major summits including Bread Loaf Mtn and Battell Mtn, supported by rustic outposts like the Boyce Shelter and Sucker Brook Shelter.

Waterways like the Middle Branch Middlebury River and Hancock Branch drain the steep slopes of Monastery Mtn and Philadelphia Peak. Near the settlement of Bread Loaf, the map documents the Worth Mtn Lodge and several natural features such as Pleiad Lake and the dramatic Texas Falls. This landscape reflects a mid-century period focused on preserving the wilderness character of the Addison Co and Windsor Co borderlands.
