About this map

The Green Mountain National Forest dominates this section of the Vermont landscape, where the steep slopes of Mt Moosalamoo and Bryant Mtn rise sharply from the lowlands of Salisbury and Middlebury. The drainage pattern is defined by the Middlebury River and its various branches, which cut through the high terrain to meet the flats below. Centrally, Lake Dunmore and the smaller Silver Lake provide significant water features nestled among the ridges.

Settlement is concentrated along the western edges, featuring the communities of East Middlebury and Ripton. Local history is preserved through scattered rural landmarks like the Plain Sch and Lake Dunmore Sch, as well as several family and community burial grounds including Prospect Cem and Cooks Cem. The presence of the strangely named Satans Kingdom at the southern end of Lake Dunmore highlights the area's unique local nomenclature, while the Sugar Hill Res suggests the management of mountain water resources during this era.
