About this map

The Dwight D Eisenhower National Fish Hatchery and the vast Green Mountain National Forest dominate this portrait of Vermont's high country. The map details a landscape defined by significant water management and conservation, featuring the sprawling Chittenden Reservoir and the Rutland City Reservoir further south. These artificial water bodies, along with smaller features like Lefferts Pond and Patch Pond, illustrate the region's historical and contemporary role in resource management for the surrounding valley.

Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Horton Cem, Baird Cem, and Eggleston Cem. The settlement pattern follows the drainages of East Creek and Mendon Brook, connecting the villages of Chittenden, North Chittenden, and East Pittsford. The terrain rises sharply toward Blue Ridge Mtn and Bald Peak, while the northern reaches include the waters of South Pond and North Pond.
