About this map

Delectable Mountain and the surrounding high ground of the Green Mountains dominate this 1966 topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and narrow brook valleys, where small settlements like Chateauguay and Morgan Corners are situated along winding mountain roads. The Appalachian Trail cuts across the center of the sheet, traversing the ridge lines from Notown toward The Lookout.

Water plays a critical role in the orientation of this terrain, with the Ottauquechee River flowing through the southern portion of the quadrangle and the North Branch feeding into the wider Bridgewater Hollow. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks such as Davis Hill, Dana Hill, and Freestone Hill, which reflect the historical landholdings in the townships of Stockbridge, Barnard, Sherburne, and Bridgewater. The map also captures specific industrial and community features, including a Gravel Pit near Morgan Corners and a small Cem (cemetery) located near Nyes Swamp.
