2018 Map of Danby

About this map

Mount Tabor and Danby serve as the primary valley settlements in this high-elevation landscape within the Green Mountain National Forest. The map documents a complex network of forest roads and trails, most notably a long stretch of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it traverses several prominent summits including Baker Peak, Peru Peak, and Styles Peak. The human footprint in the valley is centered around Otter Creek, where local family history is anchored by Young Cem and the Mount Tabor Cem. High-country features like Mad Tom Notch and the curiously named Little Michigan suggest the localized identities and pass-throughs established in these mountains. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages such as Ten Kilns Brook and Mad Tom Brook, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the early logging and travel routes of the region.
