About this map

Green Mountain National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high peaks of Dorset Peak and Woodlawn Mountain overlook the valley corridors of the Mettawee River and Mill Brook. The map reveals the industrial legacy of the region through numerous Quarries and a specific Mine and Quarry near North Dorset. These extraction sites, concentrated along the eastern slopes, reflect a long-standing Vermont economy built on local stone.

Small settlements like Danby Four Corners and Freedleyville dot the valleys, connected by mountain roads and 4WD tracks. Genealogy researchers can find local landmarks such as Maple Grove Cem and Maple Cem, while recreation is centered around Emerald Lake State Park and Emerald Lake State Forest. The western portion of the map is defined by the winding course of The Mettawee as it flows past East Rupert and toward Dorset.
