About this map

Green Mountain National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Addison and Windsor counties, where recreation and academic retreats define the local character. The famous Long Trail traverses the high ridges, connecting landmarks like Battell Mtn and Boyce Mtn. At the heart of the quadrangle lies the Bread Loaf settlement and the Middlebury College Snow Bowl, illustrating the long-standing connection between the college and these peaks.

Water plays a central role in the topography, from the Sugar Hill Reservoir in Goshen to the dramatic cascades of Bailey Falls and Texas Falls. The map details a network of high-altitude features including Pleiad Lake near Worth Mtn Lodge and the remote Skylight Pond. These summits, including Philadelphia Peak and Monastery Mtn, are linked by gaps and historic trails that have served hikers and skiers for generations.
