About this map

Green Mountain National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the Blue Ridge Mtn and the Green Mountains define a high-elevation backcountry. This terrain is marked by a complex network of forest roads and trails, including the Deer Run Trl and Hewitt Brook Trl, which navigate the slopes surrounding Chittenden Reservoir. In the lower elevations to the west, the Dwight D Eisenhower National Fish Hatchery is a prominent federal installation near North Chittenden.

Settlement is concentrated along the river valleys and historically significant roads. Genealogists can trace several family-named burial grounds throughout the area, such as Horton Cem, Baird Cem, and Eggelston Cem. Water resources are a central theme of this map, featuring both the Rutland City Reservoir near Mendon and the many brooks like Furnace Brook and East Creek that drain the mountain slopes toward the city of Rutland.
