About this map

The Middlebury River carves a path through the heart of this landscape, separating the more developed lowlands of Salisbury from the rising terrain of the Green Mountain National Forest. In the mid-1940s, the village of East Middlebury served as a key junction for travel into the mountains along Route 125. The area is defined by its diverse water features, from the expansive Lake Dunmore to the secluded Silver Lake and the industrial presence of the Goshen Dam.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, including Plain Sch and several family-named burial grounds like Cooks Cem and Galvin Cem. The topography is marked by notable peaks such as Mt Moosalamoo and Bryant Mtn, while the southern reaches of the map feature the evocatively named Satans Kingdom, a pass where the terrain drops sharply toward the Leicester Hollow Brook drainage.
