About this map

Lake Dunmore and the surrounding peaks of the Green Mountain National Forest dominate this mid-century portrait of Addison County. The terrain transitions from the developed valley floors of East Middlebury and Salisbury into a complex network of steep ridges and high-altitude water bodies like Silver Lake. In the mountains, numerous branches of the Middlebury River and Sucker Brook carve through the landscape, supporting early infrastructure like the Sucker Brook Dam.

Local history is preserved through the locations of rural schoolhouses such as Plain Sch and Lake Dunmore Sch, along with several family and community burial grounds including Prospect Cem and Cooks Cem. The inclusion of the Leicester Hollow Trl and various mountain summits like Mt Moosalamoo and Rattlesnake Point reflects the area's established identity as a recreation and timber region during the war years.
