About this map

Dorset Mountain dominates the center of this terrain, where the rugged peaks of the Green Mountains define the industrial and agricultural patterns of the late 1960s. The eastern slopes are marked by numerous quarries and a distinctive Incline RR near Freedleyville, reflecting the region's historic marble extraction industry. The landscape transitions from the high elevations of Dorset Peak and Netop Mtn down to the valley floors of the Mettawee River and Otter Creek.

Local life is concentrated in the small villages of Dorset, East Rupert, and Danby Four Corners. The map provides excellent detail for genealogists, showing family-named landmarks like Colvin Hill and Parris Hill, alongside local burial grounds such as Maple Grove Cem. The presence of Emerald Lake State Park and a Landing Strip near the southern border highlights the mix of recreation and early aviation infrastructure in this Vermont highland.
