About this map

Delectable Mountain anchors this 1966 Vermont landscape, where the rugged borders of Stockbridge, Barnard, Sherburne, and Bridgewater converge. This area is defined by its deep hollows and high peaks, characterized by a complex network of brooks including Stony Brook, Taggart Brook, and Locus Creek. The settlement pattern is sparse, with small clusters like Morgan Corners and Richmond representing the local population centers of the mid-1960s.

Tracing through the center of the quadrangle, the Appalachian Trail and the Barnard Trail cross the high ridges, passing The Lookout and skirting Bull Hill. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific family-named landmarks such as Cem Smith near Nyes Swamp Road and several named hills like Dana Hill and Cobb Hill. The Ottauquechee River flows through the southern portion, drawing drainage from Bridgewater Hollow and Dailey Hollow, reflecting the typical valley-oriented development of the Green Mountain region.
