About this map

Cabot and its surrounding villages sit at the headwaters of the Winooski River during the early 1980s, a period when the agricultural and dairy character of central Vermont remained deeply etched in the landscape. The map reveals a network of tight-knit hamlets including Lower Cabot, East Cabot, and South Walden, often situated at key crossroads or along watercourses like Mollys Brook.

Transport and conservation patterns are evident through the Walden Heights (Walden Sta) label and the establishment of the Steam Mill Brook Wildlife Management Area. The terrain is defined by significant water bodies such as Nichols Pond and East Long Pond, while local industry is quietly marked by a Gravel Pit near Taylor Bridge. This document serves as a record of the region before modern development, showing the proximity of family farms and cemeteries to the winding brooks of the Green Mountain foothills.
