About this map

Otter Creek carves a narrow valley through the Green Mountains, defining the western corridor of this mountain landscape. In the mid-2010s, the settlements of Danby and Mount Tabor anchor the northern valley, while South End and North Dorset follow the drainage to the south. Genealogists can identify several historic burial grounds nestled at the base of the ridges, including Young Cem, Tabor Cem, and Mount Tabor Cem.

High above the valley floor, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across the high peaks of the Green Mountain National Forest, passing Baker Peak and the remote waters of Griffith Lake. The rugged interior is marked by significant topographical landmarks like Mad Tom Notch and Styles Peak, while the unusual Ardell Flying Field sits isolated in the eastern uplands. This map documents a region where the traditional valley communities remain distinct from the high-altitude wilderness and forestry lands.
